The Debating Disclosure event co-hosted by CYCJ, CELCIS and the Scottish Care Leavers Covenant took place on the 25 April to provide an overview of the current disclosure system, to raise awareness, understanding, and highlight areas of challenge. You can read the full event report here.
Disclosure Scotland have a range of future engagement events planned as detailed here but can provide sector or organisational specific inputs. CYCJ held a roundtable discussion on the consultation on 8 June and would be very happy to discuss responses with interested party or to share our draft response.
