PVG Waive Fees for Scottish Volunteers
In a major boost to the voluntary sector, the Scottish Government will continue to provide free Disclosure Scotland Protecting Vulnerable Group (PVG) scheme membership to volunteers following a public consultation on fee waivers and discounts in 2024.
This decision by Scottish Ministers recognises the vital role volunteers play in Scotland’s society with roles in care, health, sports, community and children’s recreational activities.

“By extending the PVG waiver on checks for volunteers and also freezing prices, we are supporting Scotland’s vital voluntary sector.
