    Volunteer Scotland Disclosure Services (VSDS) have compiled all that you need to know about the Disclosure (Scotland) Act 2020.

    Key changes under the Disclosure Act include:

    • Membership of the PVG scheme is now a legal requirement for those carrying out a regulated role.

    • replacing the concept of ‘regulated work’ with ‘regulated roles’.

    • 3-month grace period from the 01 April – 30 June 2025 for PVG scheme applications to be submitted for individuals who are currently in a regulated role.

    • simplified disclosure products and people having more control over their information.

    • an individualised approach to the disclosure of childhood offending and rights of review for convictions disclosed, to enhance fairness and proportionality.

    • the ability for Disclosure Scotland to impose conditions on PVG scheme members who are under consideration for listing.
