Applicants or volunteers who are already members of the PVG scheme

If the applicant is already a PVG Scheme member for the children and/or adult workforce and is applying to work for either or both workforces for the Church, then they will complete an application as an Existing Member.

Information on the online PVG process can be found in the Safe Recruitment section of The Church of Scotland Safeguarding Service website.

The applicant will then receive either a PVG Scheme Record or PVG Short Scheme Record Disclosure.

For all Existing Member applications/updates, a Safeguarding Coordinator will still be required to verify identification and the applicant will require to complete the SG03 Self-Disclosure Form.

The applicant should not start work until the Safeguarding Coordinator has received a clearance letter.
