The Protection of Vulnerable Groups (PVG) (Scotland) Act 2007 will:

• help to ensure that those who have regular contact with children and protected adults through paid and unpaid work do not have a known history of harmful behaviour,
• be quick and easy to use, reducing the need for PVG Scheme members to complete a detailed application form every time a disclosure check is required,
• strike a balance between proportionate protection and robust regulation and make it easier for employers to determine who they should check to protect their client group.
