Volunteer Scotland - New Disclosure Levels Learning Byte

General News

If your organisation has volunteers or staff in a regulated role, there is a legal requirement to ensure everyone in those roles is appropriately PVG checked.

Other disclosure options are available for those who are not in regulated roles, whilst these are not a legal requirement they can be used as part of an appropriate recruitment process.

Understanding which disclosure to access and when can assist your organisation in ensuring that staff/volunteers are suitable for their roles. 

This learning byte provides information on: 

  • Why Disclosure checking matters.
  • The criteria for accessing a Level 1 check.
  • An overview of how to access a Level 2 check.
  • An overview of how to access a Level 2 with a barred list check.
  • When to access a PVG check.
  • The information that is released on the different disclosure result levels.
