The Protection of Vulnerable Groups (Prescribed Services and Activities) (Protected Adult) (Scotland) Regulations 2025
Section 94 (as amended by section 75(2) of the Disclosure Act) of the Protection of Vulnerable Groups (Scotland) Act 2007 (“the PVG Act”) defines who a “protected adult” is for the purposes of the PVG Act. Under that section, the receipt by an individual of a prescribed health service or a prescribed community care service confers on them the status of a ‘protected adult’. Section 97(1) of the PVG Act provides that “prescribed” means prescribed in Regulations made by the Scottish Minsters.
