Just to correct you this is certainly not the case in Scotland.
Disclosure Scotland is very comprehensive and does
not just include convictions but also other information held by the Police and other agencies. Here is an extract from their website.
"A Disclosure is a document containing impartial and confidential criminal history information held by the police and government departments which can be used by employers to make safer recruitment decisions.
Disclosure information could include:
Details of criminal records
Information about a persons inclusion on children's or adults' lists
Other relevant information held by a local police force or Government Body
Or state that there is no information
The information included on the document will depend on the type of disclosure applied for."
