The Scottish Government have passed changes to the law around PVG’s, called the Disclosure (Scotland) Act 2020 which will be implemented on the 1st of April 2025.
JudoScotland have been working with Volunteer Scotland Disclosure Services (VSDS) to clarify and understand how these changes will impact judo clubs. Together, we have prepared guidance to help clubs adapt and comply with the updated legislation.
Online information sessions were delivered in March for clubs, led by Wendy McBeth, Compliance and Training Officer at Volunteer Scotland Disclosure Services. If you missed our online training session there is a recording of the session available to watch on our website.
We have been delighted by the positive response from clubs so far that recognise the importance of understanding the new PVG requirements and the impact it has on their club.
Additional information to help clubs prepare for the changes coming on the 1st April 2025 to the Disclosure (Scotland) Act 2020 has been complied onto the webpage here.
