“Precautionary Principle” sees PVG Scheme postponed
Posted on Thursday 04 November 2010
The introduction of the PVG Scheme has been postponed until 28 February 2011 to ensure the system which supports it is as robust as it can be before it goes live.
Children’s Minister, Adam Ingram, announced the postponement yesterday (3 November 2010) following advice from the PVG Scheme Programme Board. The scheme had been scheduled to go live on 30 November 2010.
In the meantime, the current service of enhanced disclosure for people who work with vulnerable groups will continue.
