One product — adapts automatically to your organisation type

The PVG problem is real — and it just got harder.

From April 2026, lifetime PVG membership ends. Every volunteer faces 5-year renewals. Certificates must now be actively shared within 14 days or the organisation can't proceed. Coordinators manage this with spreadsheets and hope. PVG Pal replaces the spreadsheet.

Up and running in under 10 minutes.

Here's how it works — from spreadsheet to live dashboard.

1

Upload your register

Drop in your existing spreadsheet, Word doc, or PDF — whatever format you have. Our AI reads it and extracts your volunteers automatically.

2

Review and confirm

PVG Pal shows you each volunteer it found — name, role, PVG details. Confirm, correct, or skip. Nothing is imported without your say-so.

3

Invite your volunteers

Send each volunteer a QR code or link. They download the free app and their PVG wallet is set up instantly — deadlines, reminders, everything.

✓

Stay compliant

Your dashboard shows who's cleared, who's pending, and who needs a nudge. Renewals, training, consents — all tracked automatically.

Built for real coordinators, by a real coordinator.

PVG Pal was built by a safeguarding coordinator who manages PVG compliance for both a church and a rugby club. It's designed for users who aren't technical — large text, simple buttons, and WCAG AAA accessibility. If your coordinator can use a phone, they can use PVG Pal.

Frequently Asked Questions

Not at all. PVG Pal works for any Scottish organisation with PVG obligations — rugby clubs, football clubs, scouts, guides, swimming clubs, charities working with vulnerable adults, and all denominations. The dashboard adapts to your org type automatically.
Never. The volunteer app is free forever. Only the coordinator's organisation pays.
No — upload your existing spreadsheet (or Word doc, or PDF) and our AI reads it, extracts your volunteers, and sets everything up. You just review and confirm. Most coordinators are fully migrated in under 10 minutes.
All data is stored on Cloudflare's EU servers, fully UK GDPR compliant. We do not store ID documents, certificate contents, or self-disclosure form responses.

Absolutely. PVG applies to any regulated role involving children or protected adults — dementia befriending, grief support, mental health drop-ins, disability clubs, and more. PVG Pal tracks both workforce types and handles the different application requirements automatically.
