PVG / Disclosure Scotland
The following criteria apply to all roles within East Dunbartonshire Council where PVG/Disclosure checks are essential criteria.
Where the post you are applying for is considered a Regulated Role under the Disclosure (Scotland) Act 2020, successful candidates will be required to join the PVG Scheme or undergo a PVG Scheme Update check prior to confirmation of employment by East Dunbartonshire Council.
Please note, successful candidates will be expected to meet the cost of the relevant check, which will be deducted from the first salary payment.
In specific circumstances, the payment could be deducted in installments from wages following employment commencement. Approval for this will be made by the HR & OD Manager.
If an employee leaves before the deduction, the full amount will be deducted from their final salary.
The criteria outlined above apply to existing employees applying for roles requiring a PVG/Disclosure check.
