In Scotland, parents can check a tutor’s PVG (Protecting Vulnerable Groups) status through the following steps:
- Ask the Tutor Directly: Parents can request the tutor to provide evidence of their PVG status. A legitimate tutor should be willing to share this information.
- PVG Scheme Membership: Tutors should be registered with the PVG Scheme, which is managed by Disclosure Scotland. Parents can ask if the tutor is a member and can provide a copy of their PVG certificate.
- Contact Disclosure Scotland: Parents can also contact Disclosure Scotland for more information about the PVG Scheme and how it works. However, individuals cannot directly check another person’s PVG status due to privacy laws.
- Request a Certificate: If parents need formal verification, they may need to ask the tutor to apply for a new PVG certificate, which will show their current status.
It’s essential for parents to ensure that any tutor working with children has the necessary clearances to provide a safe learning environment.
