Types of PVG disclosure record
If you join the PVG Scheme, you will get a PVG disclosure record. There are 3 different types of PVG disclosure record:
- Scheme Record
- Short Scheme Record
- Scheme Membership Statement
Which type of PVG disclosure record you need depends on what you need it for and whether you are already a member of the PVG Scheme.

What your PVG disclosure record shows
All PVG Scheme records show the following information:
- name
- address
- date of birth
- PVG Scheme membership number
- disclosure number of the Scheme Record
- the type of regulated work the person is a PVG Scheme member for
- confirmation that the person isn't barred from doing that work
