Well unfortunately for me I have still not received my PVG, it is starting to get me a bit down as it seems everybody else has started there placement and I have not. There is not much I can do but wait for know. I will see if it comes in post tomorrow (hopefully), but if not I will contact my mentor see if she has heard anything from disclosure Scotland and might also contact them myself, as it seem a bit long to be waiting for it. Although when I did have meeting with my mentor Shona a couple weeks back she did say that the PVG’s have been taking a bit longer than normal.
I know I should not let it get to me as these things do take time and it’s must have. I just really want to get started as reading other’s blogs has got me excited about starting, curious of what I’ll be doing, what will I learn from it and what will I take it from it.
Once the PVG does comes through I know I will be glad but also keen to get started as soon as I can and obviously due to my placement with Active Schools, I will have the opportunity to get all hours completed and can continue with it once placement is over. I guess it’s just annoying waiting to get started, but sometimes you have too in life. I am sure it will be worth it though in the long run.
Again, I’m in a very similar position. Don’t let this get you down, as there is still plenty of time to gain the required hours. Hoping it all gets sorted this coming week! Stay patient.
I also understand how you feel. It can be a very tiring and frustrating process but you will get there in time, hopefully sooner rather than later. I hope you get started with your placement as soon as possible as you seem extremely eager. Good luck!
