Vetting by Disclosure Scotland
If you work in regulated work (children and/or protected adults), you will be subject to obtaining a satisfactory PVG. A small number of posts require a Standard or Basic Disclosure check, and the majority of all other posts will complete a Criminal Convictions Form. All disclosure checks are obtained via Disclosure Scotland. If you are the successful candidate, you will be required to pay the cost of the disclosure check required for your post.
Regulatory Bodies
If your post requires registration with a Regulatory Body such as HCPC or SSSC, you are required to obtain and maintain registration including paying any fees for HCPC. As part of the local government pay deal, local authority staff are no longer required to pay SSSC fees.
