Education
When you’re working with children and vulnerable people, there’s nothing more important than safeguarding their learning environment. Onboarding new staff in an educational setting will mean that you need to carry out pre-employment background checks. Whether you are employing new teaching staff for the start of the academic year, recruiting part time support staff or screening contractors to come on-site for a building project, Checkback can tailor our check to your needs.
Background screening is regulated by the Department of Education, with checks in place to protect children and vulnerable people to ensure their safeguarding. With almost every member of staff in a school or nursery likely to come into contact with pupils and students, a DBS check will be required by both permanent and temporary staff.
Alongside criminal record checks through DBS checks, Checkback also delivers background checks for higher education professionals. Checks for academics include the right to work, social media and employment and educational qualification background checks.
With universities and colleges recruiting educational professionals from across the world, our pre-employment background checks can cross borders to include criminal record checks in other countries and verification of academic qualifications obtained in other countries.

I just checked status of our first candidate on your system. Very impressed, exactly what I was looking for. Makes the previous company look like they are in the Dark Ages!

Our company have been using Checkback for a number of years. The friendly and professional service we consistently receive from them is excellent. The service they provide is quick, efficient and the screening checks are tailored to our specific needs, which is exactly what our company was looking for to cover our BS7858 security vetting requirements. Checkback provides a really personal service. For example, if things, at first appearance, don't seem right, they'll call and ask for additional information and evidence rather than take the easy option of simply 'failing', the vetting - which was our experience of previous companies. Their completed screening reports are easy to read and well-presented. We would have no hesitation in recommending Checkback to other companies.
