Module 1b - PVG Applications and Disclosures
PVG Scheme disclosure records - The Scheme Record

The Scheme Record is designed for use by organisations when an individual joins the PVG Scheme for the first time. A Scheme Record costs £59. In addition a Scheme Record may be requested where a Scheme Record Update (which costs £18)reveals a change to vetting information which the employer or prospective employer wishes to see. In this case there will be a fee of £41 (£59 less £18) if requested within 30 days of the Scheme Record Update being issued. Copies of the Scheme Record are issued to the applicant and the employer. Duplicate copies may also be issued to a regulatory body that the applicant is registered with. The Scheme Record includes the following:

Personal Identification Information
  • The name, address, date of birth and PVG Scheme membership number of the individual.
  • The unique disclosure number of the Scheme Record (this number identifies this particular certificate).
  • Registered body and countersignatory details - on the registered body copy and any regulatory body copy.
  • Regulatory body and registration number details – on any copy for a regulatory body only.
Scheme membership information and consideration status
  • Confirmation of the type(s) of regulated work (children, adults or both) for which the individual is a member of the PVG Scheme.
  • If the individual is under consideration for listing for the type(s) of regulated work, states that fact.
Vetting Information
  • The Scheme Record also includes any vetting information that exists in relation to the individual.
