Several people have asked about renewing a disclosure which is now more than 3 years old; the news item on the Disclosure Scotland website, dated 28 November 2011 and entitled “Potential Delay in Start of Retrospective Checking”, gives as much information as we have at present. British Orienteering are aware of the effect of these issues, and coaches’ licensed status is not adversely affected by it (though automated e-mails indicate otherwise).
