Coaching U18s - Important information

If you are intending to work with under 18s we will not issue your certificate until you have either joined the PVG scheme through Scottish Fencing or if you are already a PVG member had a scheme udpate through Scottish Fencing. If you have a PVG membership or scheme update we will issue your certificate as soon as fees and paperwork are submitted.

Please note it is an offence for anyone to coach under18s without a PVG certificate gained through Scottish Fencing. The committee who have allowed this to happen will also be criminally liable.
