PVG info for PAs
It is now a legal requirement for all Personal Assistants (PAs) to be a member of the PVG (Protecting Vulnerable Groups) Scheme. Employing of working as a PA without a PVG membership is against the law.
If you are a Personal Assistant you need to be a member of the PVG Scheme. SCC can support you with this, one of our members of staff will need to meet you in person and see some identification. Please contact us before visiting Market House to ensure that a member of staff is available.
