The PVG scheme works to make safer appointment decisions, making sure only appropriate people work with vulnerable groups, including young people.

After filling out the form below, PVG applicants will be invited to an in-person meeting where we will need to verify the applicant’s identity via three documents, with at least one of these documents being photographic. Examples of acceptable documents include your passport, driving license, birth certificate, marriage certificate, a utility bill (name and address only, not the details), council tax statement, or bank statement (name and address only, not the details), P45 or P60 (name and address only, not the details).

For more detail about the Scouts Scotland PVG scheme, visit “Criminal record checking process in Scotland” on the Scouts Scotland website. Fill out the form below to be invited for an in-person meeting to arrange document verification. This form will offer to send a copy of your responses to the email address below.
