The Protecting Vulnerable Groups (PVG) scheme launched in Scotland on 28 February 2011 and is operated by Disclosure Scotland.
The PVG scheme is a membership programme for those who have regular contact with children and protected adults, requiring them to apply for inclusion on a continuously updated register in order to be eligible for such voluntary or professional positions. For any queries you can contact Disclosure Scotland on 03000 2000 40 or email info@disclosurescotland.gsi.gov.uk.
The Disclosure Scotland website has more guidance and information for individuals and organisations.
Please note that Making Music will not be able to process applications for the PVG scheme.
