New to PVGs? Online training for third sector organisations
Organisations that are new to processing PVG scheme disclosures can access a series of online training sessions delivered by Volunteer Scotland during November.
The training is designed to support people acting as signatories and help them understand their responsibilities when assessing roles, recruiting safely and processing PVG applications.
Three-part online training programme
Volunteer Scotland currently offers three sessions:
Your signatory roles
Available on 9 or 25 November 2026
This introductory session focuses on the responsibilities associated with acting as a signatory and provides a foundation for the other two courses.
Regulated roles
Available on 10 or 26 November 2026
This session supports organisations to understand regulated roles and consider whether particular positions require PVG scheme membership.
Recruitment and duty to refer
Available on 11 or 27 November 2026
This session looks at recruitment responsibilities and the circumstances in which an organisation may have a duty to make a referral.
Each session builds on the previous one. Organisations are therefore strongly encouraged to book and attend all three courses to gain a complete understanding of their responsibilities.
Please check your organisation’s registration
These sessions are specifically for organisations registered with Volunteer Scotland Disclosure Services.
They are not intended for organisations that are registered directly with Disclosure Scotland. Please check how your organisation processes PVG applications before booking.
