Leaving the PVG scheme

PVG scheme membership lasts for life unless you choose to leave the scheme. 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.
