Disclosure Scotland is currently reviewing it’s Protecting Vulnerable Groups (PVG) Scheme and is looking for views.
We thought it was a great opportunity for people with a criminal record in Scotland to have their say and potentially make a difference to important legislation that will have a real impact on people with a criminal record that live in Scotland.
There’s more information about the review in its Terms of Reference.
The best way to help is to complete the online survey, which will take about 10 minutes. You can also send them an email if you’d like to get more involved.
