How can Advisory PVG help?
We can provide guidance and a countersignatory service for Scheme Records and Scheme Record Updates. It may be you have 1 employee or 100+ employees - we provide our service to a wide range of organisations.
We understand that a high quality and efficient service is paramount, as employees may not be able to take up a post until the safe recruitment process is completed. For this reason, we're dedicated purely to Protecting Vulnerable Groups checks, to make sure it all happens as quickly and easily as possible. The whole process is done by email and online, and we will email a full explanation as to how it works when you join us.
What does it cost to use your services?
We charge £20.00 for each PVG application form we countersign. There is no fee to register with us and, once registered, you can process as few or as many applications as you need, whenever you need them.
Please note our fee does not cover the Disclosure Scotland PVG application fee - see How Much Does it Cost tab.
What is the process for using Advisory PVG services?
There is no cost or obligation when joining Advisory PVG. A PVG Agreement is necessary to ensure we are meeting all legal requirements, and we will email this to you for completion, along with other relevant documentation for processing applications.
Please get in touch with us via our Contact Form.
How long does the application process take?
It should take no longer than 2 weeks for processing, once Disclosure Scotland have the completed application.
