This guide serves as a important resource for Osteopath Clinics to better understand the requirements for safe recruitment practices, ensuring that patients and staff of the Clinic can be in a secure environment.

 

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 Certificates from a Previous Employer

PVG certificates from another employer do not give you clinic up to date disclosure information on your employee such as; a consideration for listing, a barring or any new vetting information that may have been added. You should be aware that without linking your clinic to an employee’s PVG Scheme membership by doing a PVG Update check, your clinic will not receive notifications from Disclosure Scotland about the employee's suitability to work.

 

Which Roles in a Podiatrist Clinic are eligible for Disclosure Scotland Checks?

There are several job roles within an Osteopathy service and not all of them are eligible for the same type of Disclosure Scotland check.

The following job roles are eligible for a PVG Scheme membership or PVG Update checks.

Non clinical staff of an Osteopathic Clinic such as a receptionist are eligible for a Standard Disclosure Scotland Check.

 

How do I request a PVG Check for my employee?

You can obtain a PVG Scheme Check or PVG Update from Scottish Disclosures. We can progress online PVG checks on your preferred candidate or PVG Updates on your existing employees.

 

How do I request a Standard Disclosure Scotland Check for a Receptionist?

Scottish Disclosures can process a Standard Check for the position of a Receptionist. Please contact us on info@scottish-disclosures.co.uk where we can progress a Standard application form on your behalf.
