Check if a role needs PVG scheme membership
This tool is designed to help you get ready for changes to the disclosure system that come into force on 1 April. You should submit PVG applications as normal until then.
The tool should only be used as a guide. It’s to help you determine if a role needs PVG scheme membership. If you're still unsure, contact Disclosure Scotland.
The Protecting Vulnerable Groups (PVG) scheme is a membership scheme for people working with children or protected adults.
It's a legal requirement to join the scheme if you're doing a regulated role with these groups. For example, teachers or nurses.
There are other types of disclosure, depending on the work you're doing.
You can use our tool to check if a role needs PVG scheme membership.
