Organisations hosting Easter events are encouraged to check if their Easter bunny needs to be part of the PVG scheme.
The PVG scheme helps ensure that people who are unsuitable to work with children or protected adults cannot undertake regulated roles.
With Easter approaching, Disclosure Scotland is reminding event organisers and performers to use the free online checker tool and guidance to determine whether their role requires scheme membership, based on the specific activities involved.
If you are a self-employed professional Easter bunny or children’s party entertainer in a regulated role with people below the age of 18, you must join the PVG scheme membership for children.
It’s a legal requirement in Scotland for anyone in a regulated role with children and protected adults (paid or voluntary) to have a Protecting Vulnerable Groups (PVG) scheme membership. Applications for PVG scheme membership can be made online through Disclosure Scotland.
Disclosure Scotland provide free training events on regulated roles. More information can be found online.
