From 1/4/25,
Can I apply for my own PVG check if I don't work for a company, organisation or personal employer?
Yes, if your work is a regulated role with children under the age of 18 or protected adults.
The Disclosure Scotland tool below can help determine if a role should have a Level 2 PVG check carried out.

If you are self employed and looking to apply for a PVG, please call or email us, as the routes for obtaining a PVG depend on whether you are already a member of the PVG scheme. If you are unsure as to your PVG status, and you will need to know this in advance of applying, please call Disclosure Scotland on 0300 020 0040.
If you work for a company or organisation, please speak to your employer and they will be able to guide you, as a different type of PVG check is needed.
