Employee Vetting

Make safer hiring decisions and complete essential pre-employment checks.

Back to all services

Our employee vetting support helps UK employers complete appropriate DBS checks and compliant right-to-work checks before or during onboarding. We explain which checks are suitable, help you follow the correct process and keep clear evidence for your records.

Practical employee vetting for independent businesses

We start by understanding what is happening in your business, what outcome you need and where the immediate risks or pressures sit. You receive plain-English recommendations and a clear route forward—not generic advice or unnecessary process.

What's included

  • Basic, Standard and Enhanced DBS check support where eligible
  • UK right-to-work document and online status checks
  • Identity and evidence-recording guidance
  • Clear follow-up where information needs further review
Please note: DBS eligibility depends on the role. A DBS result is one part of a fair recruitment decision and does not replace an employer's own assessment.
