- checks to be completed
- a set of minimum standards of information to be obtained from the applicant
- suggested forms of wording for communicating outcomes at each stage of the disclosure scheme process
- recommended minimum levels of knowledge and experience required by practitioners to discharge functions within the disclosure scheme effectively.
