As a business, you need to be certain that prospective employees are of the highest calibre, integrity and are suited to work and represent your organisation.

BS 7858 is the British Standard for the background screening (vetting) of individuals employed in an environment where the security and safety of people, goods or property is a requirement of the employing organisations operations or where it is in the public/corporate interest.

Pre-employment screening and vetting is a mandatory requirement of accreditations such as the Approved Contractor Scheme ACS and security organisations are required to conduct screening and vetting to gain and maintain their ACS Approvals. Although BS 7858 originates from the security industry, the standard is widely used throughout the UK and overseas within other industries including in finance, healthcare and aviation.

The BS 7858 Standard includes: 

• 5 or 10 Year Written Career History  • Basic Criminality Check  • Credit Search (Consumer Information Check)

• ID Verification and Right to Work Check  • 5 Year Address Verification

By employing Security Approval to conduct the screening and vetting of your employees, it will give you the confidence that the personal you employ are of the highest calibre, integrity and are suited to work and represent your organisation.

Our vetting and screening services will also help you to make well informed employment decisions based on facts and documented evidence provided. Should you have an upcoming SIA ACS assessment or should you have one or hundreds of prospective employee files to process, we deliver the same excellent service.
