Hi All,

In 2006 I was sent to prison for 2 years for cannabis cultivation.

Recently I have started doing voluntary work for a charity which I am really enjoying and things are going well. Last week my support worker asked me to apply for a paid part time job for another charity that is subject to a PVG Disclosure Scotland check. The work would involve working with vulnerable adults in a hospital.

I don’t understand the barring process around the PVG check. Am I automatically barred from ever working with vulnerable adults in Scotland because of my criminal record?


Regards

SN
