Your group/ organisation will need to decide whether you have anyone involved in "Regulated Work" with children (and/or protected adults).

If your organisation has individuals involved in Regulated Work then those individuals will need to apply to become a member of the PVG Scheme.

The Scottish Governement has Frequently Asked Questions on the PVG Scheme.
