  • Basic DBS Check (Disclosure & Barring Service)
  • A Basic DBS check helps ensure an individual has no unspent convictions, enhancing trust and safety in recruitment and decision-making processes.

  • Digital ID Check
  • An ID Check verifies the identity of an individual. ID checks are carried out to prevent fraud, check for illegal activity and fundamentally confirm that the person is who they claim to be.

  • Digital Right to Work Check
  • This check confirms a person's legal right to work status. Failing to carry out sufficient right to work checks can result in fines and penalties, which can ultimately damage a company’s reputation.

  • 5-Year Employment History Check
  • This check verifies the employment history of an individual. The purpose of this check is to ensure that the information provided by the candidate regarding their previous employment is accurate and truthful.

  • UK Credit Check (including PEP and Sanctions)
  • This check includes PEP (Politically Exposed Person) and Sanctions, Court and Insolvency information, CIFAs (Credit Industry Fraud Avoidance) and Watchlist checks. It ensures regulatory compliance, manages potential reputational damage, and allows businesses to make informed decisions about whom they associate with.

Plus – many of our screening checks are performed immediately, including our automated digital identity verification which removes the need for you to meet, check, upload and handle candidate documents.

I handed over the request to Secure Screening Services... and had minimal involvement in obtaining certification which allowed for me to concentrate on other matters. The portal was easy to navigate and even the complexities of arranging a check for a French resident, was completed without difficulty by the team. Great communication and great results.
