I am still currently waiting to hear if my PVG has been updated. It is nearly 2 weeks since this was sent away and my mentor Craig said that this is round about how long it should take. Fingers crossed I hear back soon regarding my PVG being updated. With it now being week 6 in the semester I am starting to get stressed about making up my 30 hours. But I’m sure once I get started I wont be long in clocking in hours.
Craig has been really good with keeping in touch and has been emailing about possible opportunities. One of the opportunities is next Wednesday at the Peak helping at a Parasport Festival. This is being run by Scottish Disability Sport and Active Stirling. I am looking forward to finally getting started my placement and being able to work alongside other coaches and other students.
I also received an email from Craig about another event which is on the 8th of November at the Peak and the event is a Boccia festival. This event interests me as I have heard all about boccia but I’ve never actually seen it being played. But I’m unsure if Im able to make this event as I have my mid-semester meeting.
I cant wait to finally get started and make up my 30 hours!

Being in a similar situation, this post makes me feel a little bit more relaxed! Hoping both our PVG’s are complete soon. Look forward to hearing about how you get on when everything is complete.
I am glad to hear that you feel more relaxed now! -Romie
Hi Chloe, I am sorry to hear that you have been concerned about the hours. I totally understand that. However, I am sure you will manage to complete all the hours. Regarding mid-semester meeting, it is fine even if you haven’t completed 15 hours. No worries at all. Hope you can start soon! -Romie
Hi Chloe, I aim also experiencing some delay to starting to my placement so it’s good to know someone else is feeling the same although i know it is frustrating. Hope your PVG is sorted ASAP and that your placement goes well – James
