PVG Scheme membership

Anyone doing a regulated role with children or protected adults in Scotland must be a member of the PVG Scheme (Protecting Vulnerable Groups).

We process PVG Scheme applications and PVG updates for organisations employing people in Scotland. We check eligibility and ID before anything is submitted to Disclosure Scotland.
