Protecting learning environments through trusted employment screening

Safer recruitment for educational institutions
The Department for Education’s Keeping Children Safe in Education sets out the legal duties of all schools and colleges in England to safeguard children. It applies to staff, headteachers, governors, proprietors, and management committees.
Our screening services align with Department of Education (DfE) guidance and include:
- Enhanced DBS checks
- Children’s barred list where appropriate
- Identity verification
- Qualification validation (QTS)
Our employment screening gives you the confidence that every hire is fully vetted and fit to work in an educational setting.
Why screen staff in medical & healthcare roles
Patient safety
Healthcare providers have a high duty of care to ensure the safety and wellbeing of those under their care. Background screening can identify evidence of past criminal activity, substance abuse and other behaviour that may pose a risk to patient safety.
Regulatory compliance
Every branch of the healthcare sector is subject to regulatory standards and requirements. Background screening allows organisations to show compliance with and meet the requirements related to licensing, accreditation and employment eligibility.
Protecting the vulnerable
It is vital in today’s climate to ensure that those healthcare providers who work with the most vulnerable in society, children and young people, the elderly and individuals with disabilities, maintain the highest standards of care. Background screening can identify any history of abuse or neglect to ensure the safety and wellbeing of those in their care.
Litigation
Stringent background screening serves to demonstrate a high level of due diligence to help mitigate any risks associated with negligence in the hiring process or retention of staff who do not meet the necessary standards of professional integrity
Professional conduct
Healthcare professionals must adhere to and uphold the highest ethical and professional conduct. Thorough and detailed background screening can identify any prior instances of professional misconduct, disciplinary actions or claims arising from malpractice, to ensure and maintain the integrity of each healthcare workforce.
