Police Act 1997 and Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974 Instruments - Homes for Ukraine Sponsorship Scheme: children's rights and wellbeing impact assessment

6. How have you consulted with relevant stakeholders, including involving children and young people in the development of the policy/measure?

In ordinary circumstances, Disclosure Scotland would consult with stakeholders to inform its policy. However, recognising the vulnerable status of the displaced Ukrainians and their families in these circumstances, the policy has had to be developed at speed. No consultation has been carried out due to the pace at which a legislative response was needed in order to respond to the circumstances.

It is intended that consultation and review will form part of the scheme, including in relation to this policy, as it is rolls out.
