Disclosure Scotland Certificate - Is it worth getting one?

YES! YES! YES!

When children are on set all productions require SA’s to have a Basic Disclosure Certificate.

However, more and more productions are asking for Disclosure Certificates when booking SA’s – so to increase your chances of getting more bookings we recommend people apply for one.

You can apply for a certificate online via
https://www.mygov.scot/basic-disclosure/apply-for-basic-disclosure/

A PVG (Protection of Vulnerable Groups) or enhanced Disclosure Certificate is also acceptable.

You can find out more information via https://www.mygov.scot/disclosure-types/

Once you have received your certificate please upload it onto your GBM online profile in the payment section under DBS.

Many thanks

Graeme

Having just read the last review I do not understand where he is coming from.I have been with this agency for many years and always found them very professional and personable.GBM are always available to talk through any queries and try to get you as much work as they can.Keep up the good work.

As a film student I found GBM casting to be incredibly helpful with my project. They are more than willing to help the next generation of young filmmakers. I would highly recommend to any young filmmakers who are looking for professional actors to contact GBM.

So welcoming and got a lot of work over 2 years with them, even if you don't get much its not the agent's its at the casting director's discretion to pick.But fantastic couple at GBM, nothing is ever to much for them.Always there if you need them on the phone.Not just an agent but they like to get to know you and build a friendship with you too.

I've worked with GBM Casting a fair few times now and I can only speak words of praise. They are professional and hard working in supporting you as an SA and performer. Constantly putting you forwards for all potential jobs and opportunities. They take the care of meeting their candidates in person to create a rapport and good working relationship from the get go, helping you get what you want out of the industry. Plus unlike other companies they take only a small annual fee which goes towards a photoshoot at your first meeting, ensuring you look your best for casting directors. Additionally their fees from any work you successfully book are the lowest in the game, ensuring you get the most income for your hard work on set.Could not recommend GBM enough, if you want to get on set, be an SA and maybe go beyond that, GBM are the best agency to register with.

I thought I needed to leave one more review after seeing what was left here for GBM on google.I’m within my first 12 months with GBM and Ive finally found an agency that understands me as a dance artist. I’m used to dance companies and productions, so working with Netflix via GBM was new to me but GBM sealed the experience.Fiona and the team are always great with correspondence and understanding. Such an amazing company that helped me meet one of my all time role models, on an amazing set, whilst meeting and re uniting with the best of friends within an amazing industry.Thanks again for all you do at GBM Fiona and Graeme X

Heres a true honest opinion of GBM, my names steven and i have been with GBM since 2018, i have alot of respect for the work they do for me to try and get me work as an SA. Since joining i have been put forward for lots of stuff. Most of which i am unsuccessful, i have though been successful for 8 different projects and 3 different projects in the last 6 days. I cant thank GBM enough and would highly reccommend giving them a call.

Steven Mclintock

Today I met with Fiona for registration and photo shoot, and I am absolutely delighted to join GBM! Very easy to talk to, but most importantly - she is very passionate and keen to give young artists a chance to network and get opportunities in a hard to break into industry. We certainly need more people like Fiona to create opportunities for artists, they wouldn't otherwise find. Also, the other lady was lovely and thorough with explaining everything about GBM. Ross the photographer was easy going too. I look forward to seeing the photos! very much look forward to working with GBM and meet the rest of the team.

Best agent ever, so helpful understanding and look after everyone who are with them.
only been with them a short while and the communication from them is outstanding, always there to answer questions and always sending out work for people.
wither you get picked is down to the director's not the agent but I have been lucky so far.
