BPSS Clearance

Manually checking all of the elements of a BPSS can be time-consuming and will inevitably delay any hiring process, that’s why we have developed our proprietary system that speeds this up. Checkback provides a fast and efficient BPSS service that takes away the hassle and is quality assured so that you know that the results are going to be accurate and GDPR compliant.

We aim to get any standard UK based employee BPSS check completed within 3-5 days and we can meet this for most overseas workers too.

Naturally, the more complex a person’s work history is then the longer it will take.

Strictly speaking, there is no expiry date on a BPSS check for UK citizens.

As long as the individual remains employed by the same company then the BPSS can be kept in place indefinitely. This is also true if the person leaves their service but returns within a year.

Where people transfer between companies then the new employer can in some circumstances accept an existing BPSS but given that employers are legally required to carry out most of the elements including ID, right to work and immigration status checks then it makes sense to simply get the whole thing done again and will usually be quicker.

For foreign nationals, parts of the BPSS are covered under immigration and right to work legislation.

This means that although the BPSS as a whole remains in place, employers need to check the immigration status of the person concerned before their existing right to work expires or every twelve months, whichever is sooner.

BPSS level screening is charged at different rates depending on what is required. We have a fee for a full report including history and references.

If you want a BPSS without a DBS check then the cost of BPSS Clearance is reduced

Prices include a maximum of 5 employment references. We do add a small charge per reference thereafter but this shouldn’t be an issue for a 3-year employment history check.

If you fill in the form you see on this page we will email you our costs.

On completion of the required checks, a candidate will be deemed to have BPS Security Clearance. At this point, a BPSS Certificate is issued.

BPSS clearance is a legal requirement and so it is important you are compliant. Vetting Solutions Centre has the experienced staff to provide fast and accurate BPSS security clearance for your company.

By their very nature, good executives tend to be internationalists, working across sector and across borders.

This means that standard executive vetting companies can’t cope with the complexity needed to manage international checks.

We have built up our systems with the purpose of being able to check any executives history, whatever country or company they have worked for.

We have offices in the UK, Ireland, Poland and Spain and utilise our extensive network of partners to produce executive vetting reports that are accurate and tell the real story.

Typical checks considered by clients using this screening type are listed below.
