In response to upcoming changes in the law, we taken important steps to empower you as volunteers and voluntary organisations with the knowledge you need to successfully navigate these updates.
The changes come into place on 01 April 2025 for PVG (protected vulnerable groups) and Disclosure checks - a system that checks the suitability of people who want to work or volunteer with children and protected adults in Scotland.
The new quick guide provides straightforward explanations of the changes, while the training programme, presented by Wendy McBeth from Volunteer Scotland Disclosure Services, offers practical, hands-on learning to help volunteers and organisations apply the knowledge in real-world settings.
Particularly notable is the introduction of mandatory PVG and Disclosure checks for Trustees who volunteer with third sector organisations that provide services to children or vulnerable adults.
