British Standard 7858:2006 + A2:2009

British Standard 7858:2006 + A2:2009 contains the latest recommendations set out by the British Standards Institution regarding the screening (vetting) of individuals employed in an environment where the security and safety of people, goods or property is a requirement of the employing organisation's operations or where such security screening is in the public interest.

This new standard came into effect on 30th April 2009 and is widely considered to be the ‘Industry Standard’ for vetting personnel throughout the entire employment spectrum and not just confined to the security industry for which it was originally intended.

For the first time BS7858:2006 recommends the individual's financial history should be checked and also requires that a Criminal Record Disclosure be obtained.

Screening to British Standard 7858:2006 is usually required for accreditation purposes so many organisations that do not require this higher level of security vetting choose scaled down versions, specifically tailored to meet their own organisational needs.

Alternatively, employers may wish to enhance the security checks beyond that required by BS7858:2006 such as Company Directorship checks, DVLC checks or even verifying higher academic qualifications shown in C.V.’s.

The Vetting Company is in a unique a position to undertake all the necessary checks promptly with the minimum of fuss and effort irrespective of volume.

We pride ourselves on providing assured professional compliance delivered within a recognised ISO 9001:2008 management system culminating in a bound dossier containing all evidence including an individual covering report from the screening officer.

Since 2002 we have been able to help many International, National and local organisations covering virtually every area of employment including Care Institutions, NHS Trusts, Building Societies, Charitable Trusts, Local Authorities, Confidential Paper Waste Companies and of course all aspects of the Security Industry.

Whatever your requirement in Security Vetting we would be pleased to discuss your individual needs and offer you the benefit of our vast and unique experience in this specialised area of investigation with the intention of enabling all employers make that important Informed recruitment decision based on proven and documented fact.
