Other checks that may apply
Protecting Vulnerable Groups (PVG) membership scheme
The scheme requires those who work (paid or unpaid) with vulnerable people to be registered.
All new starts and existing employees must be PVG Scheme members if they undertake 'regulated' work with children and/or protected adults. However, simply having contact with children and/or protected adults doesn't make a post eligible for a PVG check.
Regulated work is defined by
- the activities carried out
- the establishments in which the work is done
- the position held, and
- the people for whom the worker has supervisory or management responsibility. Also, an activity or work has to be part of normal duties and not incidental.
All posts across the Council have been assessed by senior managers and each area has a list of posts which are eligible for a PVG check.
A PVG check must be carried out before a new employee can start in a post that's regulated work.
If it's a requirement of your job, you'll need to complete a PVG application and Criminal convictions self-declaration form.
At your interview, the recruiting manager will have indicated what type of check (if any) is required and will given you the relevant form. However, if you need further forms or guidance, please go to the Apply to the PVG scheme - mygov.scot website.
Drivers licence or permits
If it's a requirement of your job, you'll be asked to provide proof of a driver's licence or other permits.
Roman Catholic schools only
You'll need to request approval from a Bishop to teach at a Roman Catholic school once the conditional offer is accepted.
