Leaving the PVG scheme

PVG scheme membership lasts for five years. Members are continuously monitored to see if they're suitable for regulated roles.

If you stop doing a regulated role and no longer need PVG membership, you can choose to leave the scheme.

How to leave the PVG scheme

To leave the scheme, email dsupdate@disclosurescotland.gov.scot.

Include your:

• name
• date of birth
• mother’s maiden name

Before ending your membership, Disclosure Scotland will contact any employers listed on your membership to confirm you've stopped a regulated role.

If you carry out a regulated role in the future you will need to join the scheme again.

Information for organisations

You should let Disclosure Scotland know when a PVG member stops doing a regulated role for your organisation. Send an email to dsupdate@disclosurescotland.gov.scot.

Disclosure Scotland can give you a list of PVG members connected with your organisation, so you can check it's up to date.
