Created: 10/08/2026News/Events Category: General News
This item will show under the following categories: Volunteering Children and Families Governance
Within the disclosure process there are legal requirements that must be met to ensure that employing groups are not in breach of relevant legislation.
Knowing what your organisations legal requirements are in relation to the disclosure system can help you plan your recruitment process and what policies and procedures you may need to have in place if there is inappropriate behaviour towards vulnerable people.
This learning byte provides information on:
- The legal requirement around the PVG scheme.
- What these mean for you as an employer of volunteers/staff.
- Age limit on who can be disclosure checked.
- The Duty to Refer to Disclosure Scotland around inappropriate behaviour.
Please take a few minutes to stay informed and ensure you’re meeting your legal obligations within the Disclosure system.
