New legislation ensures that individuals working with vulnerable groups must be a member of the PVG scheme.
From 1 April 2025, membership of the Protecting Vulnerable Groups (PVG) scheme becomes a legal requirement in Scotland. Any individual who is to carry out a regulated role (paid or voluntary) with children, protected adults or both, must be a member of the PVG scheme, prior to carrying out that role.
More information
For more information on the PVG scheme we would advise individual and clubs to contact their Scottish Governing Body for advice and visit Disclosure Scotland’s website.
