Part 1: Main Provisions Section 34: Temporary disapplication of disclosure offences: Scotland
This section allows the Scottish Ministers to issue a direction that disapplies the offences under section 35 (organisations not to use barred individuals for regulated work) and section 36 (personnel suppliers not to supply barred individuals for regulated work) of the Protection of Vulnerable Groups (Scotland) Act 2007. This is intended to ensure that NHS boards who are employing temporarily registered healthcare workers are not inadvertently committing an offence if they have not obtained a Protecting Vulnerable Groups ("PVG") disclosure check in advance.
	The territorial extent and application of this section is Scotland only.
