Costs

This event is free to attend, but to encourage a good turnout we charge a non-attendance fee of £20.00 per delegate for places that are booked and not used. By booking you agree to pay this fee for delegates who do not attend.

Cancellations received up to five working days before the event avoid the fee, once we have confirmed them. You can send somebody else in place of a booked delegate at no charge.

This course will explore the principles of background checking of all types for both staff and volunteers.

Following the updates from the Disclosure (Scotland) Act 2020, the course will provide up-to-date information on:

  • General information on PVG and disclosure checking
  • The different types of disclosure check available (e.g. Basic, Standard, Enhanced and PVG Scheme)
  • Regulated roles and how to assess them
  • A brief look at how to go about processing checks (this is covered in more detail in the PVG signatory course)
  • Safe recruitment
