Volunteer Scotland has released its latest Learning Byte video, focusing on organisations’ legal responsibilities under the Disclosure (Scotland) Act 2020.
The short video provides useful guidance for third sector groups and organisations, helping them understand their responsibilities around disclosure checks and the Protecting Vulnerable Groups (PVG) Scheme.
Topics covered include:
- When disclosure checks, including PVG Scheme membership, are legally required
- The minimum age for PVG Scheme membership
- An organisation’s duty to refer and when this applies
- What the legal requirements mean for organisations as employers
- What constitutes inappropriate behaviour
The Learning Byte is a useful resource for organisations looking to better understand their legal responsibilities and ensure they are following the appropriate safeguarding and disclosure requirements.
