Volunteer Scotland has published its reflections on the changes introduced by the Disclosure (Scotland) Act 2020, focusing on the Protecting Vulnerable Groups (PVG) scheme, three months after the end of the grace period.
One of the most significant changes has been the requirement for all individuals in regulated roles to join the PVG scheme. The sector’s response demonstrates the seriousness with which organisations are approaching these changes.
Volunteer Scotland has taken this opportunity to reflect on the impact of the legislation, lessons learned, and ongoing support available to organisations and volunteers.
