Inspire Scotland is a living wage employer.
Because of the nature of its work with children and young people, Inspire Scotland uses the Disclosure Scotland Service (PVG) to make checks at an enhanced level on all persons whose work or proposed work will involve regular contact with or working in close proximity to children and young people in our care.
