Applying for Child Visa 101 - We are in SCotland but do we now need ACRO Police Checks???

[WeGottaGetOuttaThisPlace 10]

Just getting the Child Visa app under way as we are still here in the UK and new baby needs a visa.

I am wanting to double check something.

With our main visa applications 5 years ago we just got the police checks done by the local Police Station for about £20 each but have been told we now need to get the ACRO Police Checks now as they have changed the rules since we applied.

Anyone else confirm this is the case please?

 

Thanks :arghh:

PS Sorry if this has already been cleared up but I just can't find a definitive answer - lots of conflicting advice... I don't want to waste £90 when we are struggling to pay for the visa application and medicals already

 

Thanks
