Sensitivity obligation – public registers

A statement by an individual or the money adviser without supporting evidence is unlikely to be sufficient except in the most exceptional of circumstances.

The Accountant would normally expect to see supporting evidence from a relevant third party. This could, for example, be in the form of a court document such as a restraining order or a letter or statement provided by:

• the police
• a solicitor
• a health professional

A letter from EVA (Ending Violence and Abuse) which is sponsored by Lanarkshire NHS, Shelter, Women’s Aid or similar referral or support agency would also be accepted.
