Each of these documents should give an indication of the type of work that the applicant has registered to provide (Regulated Work with children and/or adults).
Confirmation of PVG scheme membership
This is for those going to do a regulated role for an individual or as self-employed. This shows that confirms that they are a member of the PVG scheme, that they are not barred from working with vulnerable groups, and if they are under consideration for inclusion on the barring lists. This does not show any conviction information.
PVG Scheme Disclosure – Join or Existing Record
This document can only be obtained if an applicant has applied through an employer or Registered Body like DDC. Upon application, a PVG Record will only be issued to the applicant themselves. The PVG Record issued will include all conviction information that Disclosure Scotland has released. This option is for those who wish to join the PVG Scheme or are applying to be checked for a new vulnerable group, e.g. child to adult. This will ‘register the employer’s interest’ in the applicant to ensure they are informed of any future considerations for barring.
A Level 2 PVG Scheme Update
This is for existing PVG members who are continuing to work with the same vulnerable group on their membership. It adds an organisation to their membership.
