Protecting children through safer recruitment.
We’re committed to safer recruitment best practice—ensuring every flexible worker is thoroughly vetted before joining our platform.
Intro
Vetting Process Includes:
Enhanced DBS check
We verify that every worker has an up-to-date Enhanced DBS certificate and where appropriate, overseas police checks are obtained. This ensures they’ve passed the highest level of criminal background screening for working with children.
Right to Work verification
We confirm each worker’s legal eligibility to work in the UK. This protects providers from compliance risks and ensures lawful employment.
ID and address confirmation
We cross-check government-issued ID and proof of address. This guarantees the worker’s identity and traceability.
Full work history review
We collect and review a complete employment history. This helps us identify gaps, patterns, and relevant experience.
Two professional references (covering at least 5 years)
We require references from previous employers or managers. This provides insight into the worker’s reliability, conduct, and suitability.
Qualifications reviewed against the Department for Education Checklist
We validate relevant childcare qualifications. This ensures workers meet the standards required for their roles.
Online interview with our recruitment team
Every worker completes a structured interview via video call. This allows us to assess communication, professionalism, and intent.
Safeguarding training and assessment
Every worker completes accredited safeguarding training and must achieve a minimum score in the final assessment. This ensures they understand how to protect children, recognise signs of harm, and respond appropriately.
