This guide gives clarity on the requirements for safe recruitment practices for Bus and Taxi companies working on school contracts to ensure that children can be in a safe environment. Your company may have just been awarded a contract to transport school children to and from school. You may also need to obtain a PVG update check for the renewal of your employees school contract badge.

What is the PVG Scheme?

The Protecting Vulnerable Groups (PVG) Scheme helps ensure people who are unsuitable to work with children and protected adults cannot work with these vulnerable groups.


PVG Checks from a previous Employer

An employee’s or potential employee’s PVG certificate from another employer does not give your business up to date disclosure information, such as new vetting information that may have been added, a barring, or considerations for listing. Without directly linking your business to an employee’s PVG Scheme membership by getting a new PVG check, you will not receive ongoing notifications about the employees suitability to work.


Which roles are eligible for PVG Checks?
