Common Law Police Disclosure (CLPD) is police led. The National Police Chiefs’ Council issue guidance for CLPD to all Chief Officers to ensure compliance.

Operational use of the scheme follows the principles of the statutory guidance relating to the disclosure of local police information on criminal record certificates.

The Home Office does not make any separate assessment of the scheme.
