PVG Scheme replacing Disclosure Scotland

[Scottish Business Owner]

Have been asked to post the below for info which I am more than happy to do as it may be relevant to some on the forums

If you work with children or protected adults then you may need to know about the new Protecting Vulnerable Groups Scheme (PVG Scheme) which will be implemented soon. This membership scheme will replace the disclosure service for people who work with vulnerable groups in Scotland. It will help ensure that people who have regular contact through work with children and protected adults don’t have a known history of harmful or abusive behaviour. It will be quick and easy to use. For information visit Protecting Vulnerable Groups Scheme - Check to Protect | Disclosure Scotland | Home or call 0870 609 6006.

Thanks

It has got to be an improvement on the existing scheme which is a nightmare to apply and admin.

That said just read the site and they reckon it will take 4 years before fully implemented :huh:

4 years no wonder the country is in the state it is in
