Vetting Procedures
In line with the British Standards of screening and vetting (BS7858) 2006 and BS7499:2007 for which we are UKAS approved and we undergo the following checks:
- We check the individual’s credit history by undertaking a financial credit check.
- Identity documents bare seen in original format and must include a photo driving licence (if British) or passport. These documents are checked under a UV light to ensure their authenticity.
- We check their current address with a recent (no older than three months) utility bill, bank statement or similar.
- We undergo a history check which, as a minimum, covers their previous 10 year history.
- We check the individual’s immigration status and right to work if they are not UK residents.
- All officers are required to undergo and complete a minimum training programme and must obtain the requisite Security Industry Authority (SIA) Licence.
