From 1st April 2025 Scotland's disclosure system is changing, including a restructure of background checks, an update of the PVG Scheme and several process changes that will bring more fairness and transparency for those with convictions.
Both your participants and your organisation could be impacted significantly, with expanded legal requirements for roles requiring PVG and a brand new system for individuals to get familiar with. Apex Scotland specialises in providing support and guidance to individuals and organisations around the Scottish Justice System, Criminal Convictions and Disclosure.
You can sign up for a free Apex Scotland Webinar covering all the changes introduced by the new legislation, how it will impact your organisation and the individuals you support, and where to get further support and guidance. The webinars are divided into two categories, Practitioners, and Employers/Organisations
