PVG Disclosure Checks
This office can assist voluntary organisations with information and guidance about PVG disclosure checks.
The introduction of the Disclosure Scotland Act 2020 requires organisations, voluntary Groups and charities to register independently with Volunteer Scotland to access free disclosure checks for volunteers. Unfortunately CVG are no longer able to act as an intermediary for organisations but Volunteer Scotland offer an excellent service as the overarching umbrella body for the voluntary Sector in Scotland. https://www.volunteerscotland.net/for-organisations/disclosure-services/
What is a PVG and do I need one? PVG stands for Protecting Vulnerable Groups. If you are working [or volunteering] with young, or vulnerable people on a regular basis you will require to be PVG checked.
