Compliance & safeguarding

Evidence you can put in front of your safeguarding lead

Our vetting, policies, insurance and data handling are documented and available for your due diligence, tender or contract monitoring process.

DBS checking process

Every worker holds an Enhanced DBS check appropriate to the setting, including children's barred list checks where required.
DBS certificates are seen in original or verified digital form and recorded on the worker's compliance file.
Workers are registered with the DBS Update Service where possible, and status is re-checked before placement.
Overseas police checks or certificates of good conduct are obtained where a worker has lived abroad.
Any disclosure is subject to documented risk assessment before a worker is offered to a service.
