SUMMARY:Disclosure (Scotland) Act Changes Come into Effect
DESCRIPTION:As you are probably aware\, Disclosure Scotland is making changes to their services from Tuesday 1 April. This is part of the process for implementing the Disclosure (Scotland) Act 2020. \nThe Disclosure (Scotland) Act 2020 aims to improve the disclosure system in Scotland by removing unnecessary barriers for people with convictions who are seeking employment or other opportunities\, while also enhancing the PVG scheme. \nTo help organisations understand what is changing and how it impacts them\, our team at CVS Falkirk & District has created a summary guidance document\, which highlights some of the key changes that relate to the Protecting Vulnerable Groups (PVG) scheme\, including: \n\nanyone over the age of 16 years old who is working or volunteering with vulnerable groups will now be legally required to be a member of the PVG Scheme\nthe current fee waiver for volunteers will be retained\, so PVG scheme membership will be free for volunteers of Qualifying Voluntary Organisations\nif you are a Trustee or Director of an organisation which provides services to children or protected adults\, you will require a PVG membership\nthe “lifetime PVG Scheme membership” is being replaced with 5 year membership\nyou should inform Disclosure Scotland when a PVG member stops doing regulated work within your organisation\n\nThe summary guidance document is available to view or download as a pdf (linked for your convenience). \nVolunteer Scotland Information Sessions\nPlease note that Volunteer Scotland Disclosure Services is running a series of very useful online sessions to keep you up to date about the changes\, the implementation of the Disclosure Act and what you need to do as an organisation to ensure compliance. \nSome of these sessions are running as Q&A sessions\, so you can ask anything specific to your organisation directly to a Disclosure Scotland representative. They have also put together a dedicated Disclosure Act page\, with key resources and guidance to support organisations and groups during the transition. \nTo book your place at upcoming sessions\, or for further information\, please visit the Volunteer Scotland website. \nFurther Information\nIf you have any questions regarding the PVG changes\, then please reach out to our team by email: info@cvsfalkirk.org.uk \nAlternatively\, further information is also available on the following useful links: \n\nDisclosure Scotland’s website\nVolunteer Scotland’s dedicated Disclosure (Scotland) Act page
