This guide serves as an important resource to better understand the requirements for safe recruitment practices ensuring that patients and staff 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 Checks from a previous Employer

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


What roles are eligible for Disclosure Scotland checks in a Physiotherapy Clinic?

There are several different job roles within a Physiotherapy Clinic and not all of them are eligible for the same type of check
