PVG and child safety

It is Gordonstoun’s policy to carry out rigorous security checks on all employees appointed to the School, as recommended by the Scottish Government. This involves presenting names of staff to Disclosure Scotland for an enhanced check against criminal records and other lists which contain names of those not suitable for close contact with young people. Overseas police checks or certificates of good conduct will be required for successful applicants that have resided or worked oversea within the last 5 years.
Are you currently a member of the PVG Scheme?
1. Do you have any relevant convictions, cautions, bind-overs, final warnings, or reprimands?
2. Are you subject to any pending criminal convictions, pending criminal damages or Court Hearings?

If you have answered yes to any of the above questions, you must supply details in a sealed envelope marked “Confidential” and post to "F.A.O. Jo Shirriffs, GISS, Elgin, Moray IV30 5RF". If your application is successful, this information will be checked against information from the Disclosure Scotland PVG Service.
