It’s a secure digital application that enables organisations working with children and vulnerable adults to record, update, maintain and confidentially share essential pre-employment vetting information. The platform provides peace of mind that all staff are checked, safe and ready to work with children. Why? In spite of rigorous legislation and high profile case history, there are still too many poorly checked or un-vetted individuals engaged in regulated activity with children or vulnerable adults. The problem is due to outdated practises caused by: • A reliance on paper based records; nothing is digitalised. • A lack of real-time, transparent data, making it impossible to validate a modern, transient workforce. • Convoluted and ever changing legislation • A lack of regulation, monitoring and accountability • Organisational inconsistencies; lack of process and standardisation • An ignorance of responsibilities and best practice Current practices are therefore outdated and wholly inadequate, compromising the safety of our children. Who needs it? If your organisation is involved in regulated activities with children or vulnerable adults across education, healthcare, charities, voluntary sector and sports clubs, including any organisation that recruits for and deploys temporary workers in any of these sectors.
