Mr. Maclean

The Police Bill makes provision for criminal record checks giving details of convictions and cautions recorded centrally to be available for all who have regular contact with children whether as employees, trainees or volunteers. Where access is both regular and unsupervised, additional information will be provided from local police records including details of convictions for minor offences and relevant non-conviction information.
