PVG Process

If your club is affiliated to Lacrosse Scotland, then Lacrosse Scotland can act as an intermediary body in PVG applications. Lacrosse Scotland is registered with the Volunteer Scotland Disclosure Services (VSDS) to access free PVG checks for volunteers.

PVG checks are now completed online following the below simple steps:

1. A Lacrosse Scotland affiliated club should email admin@nulllacrossescotland.com with the following details;
   – Full Name of the club member(s) that requires a PVG
   – Their home address
   – Their email address
   – The role they will be undertaking
   – Whether the member is an Existing or New PVG scheme member
2. An ID check will be arranged with the individual via a signatory requiring a photographic proof of ID and proof of address via a Google Meet session. Either a 1:1 session will be arranged, or the individual will be invited to a ‘drop in’ session, where there are multiple applicants.
3. The Lead/Additional Signatory will complete the VSDS PVG Online Application Portal.
4. VSDS will approve this and Disclosure Scotland will automatically send a link to the applicant. The applicant will then have 7 days to complete this link.
5. Applicant completes personal information via email link, submitted directly to Disclosure Scotland.
6. Disclosure checks undertaken by Disclosure Scotland.
7. Certificate issued to VSDS and the applicant.
