About this event

Disclosure Scotland offer free training webinars to organisations who utilise the PVG scheme, their countersignatories and staff involved with the disciplinary process.

Our PVG Duty to Refer webinar is an interactive session and covers:

  • your PVG referral obligations and how they relate to a safer Scotland
  • what conduct meets the criteria for a referral to Disclosure Scotland
  • how to make a referral to Disclosure Scotland
  • what happens with the information you provide

Expert staff will guide you through the process, utilising their extensive knowledge of relevant legislation.

All employers involved in providing regulated work must be aware of referral obligations as part of their disciplinary procedures. The PVG Act 2007 places duties on organisations to refer individuals to Disclosure Scotland when certain conditions are met. Information on these duty to refer obligations can be found on our website.

The webinar will be held on Microsoft Teams and can be joined via computer or mobile device using either the Teams app or through the web browser.

If you have any accessibility requirements we should be aware of, require more information or have any questions, please contact our Stakeholder Events team via dsworkshop@disclosurescotland.gov.scot.

Frequently asked questions

Who is the event for?

This event is for organisations who are registered to use the PVG scheme with Disclosure Scotland and their staff members who are countersignatories or involved in the disciplinary process.

How will the training be delivered?

We don't treat our webinars as lectures or one way conversations. Whilst the content is delivered by a main speaker, we have designed our webinars to be as interactive as possible with group exercises and inviting questions from attendees throughout.

Do I need to prepare in any way?

Attendees do not need to prepare in any way as the training has been designed to be delivered interactively on the day with supporting materials shared afterwards.

Will this event be recorded?

This event will not be recorded. We aim to create an environment where attendees feel comfortable asking questions around potentially sensitive matters and discussing their own experiences around safeguarding and PVG.
