Start with the actual job
Role-specific planning for Education
Roles involving instruction and learner contact need clear qualification and experience requirements.
administrative staff
Identify the institution or trust employing administrative staff.
student support teams
Distinguish learner-support duties from a teaching or clinical role.
Confirm awarding institutions, course details and candidate identity; any professional authorisation requires separately agreed source review.
These are planning examples, not client case studies, mandatory check lists or a guarantee of hiring suitability.
Purpose before package
Checks to discuss and why they matter
These are starting points for agreeing a scope, not a blanket package for every person in this sector. Confirm duties, consent, source access and the employer's requirements first.
Identity Verification
Match the candidate's identity to the records being checked. Explain name changes or spelling differences before approaching sources.
Employment / engagement history
Prepare institution and employing trust names, engagement type, subject or function and dates; visiting appointments should be identified explicitly.
Education Verification
Verify the award and awarding institution relevant to the teaching role, keeping eligibility decisions with the hiring institution.
Court, police, database and other checks are not automatic additions. Agree their purpose, permitted sources and limitations separately. A name-only match is not a confirmed adverse finding. Review available services.
Prepare records, not excess data

Questions when screening Education roles
How should an institution name differing from the employing trust be handled?
Record both names and ask the authorised source to explain their relationship. Preserve the original claim and documents while clarifying the employer identity rather than treating the name difference alone as an adverse result.
What if a record is incomplete or the source does not respond?
Request clarification, identify any agreed alternative source and distinguish an unavailable response from a confirmed discrepancy. The report should state which claim was checked, what the source returned and what remains unresolved. The employer makes its own policy decision.
How are the quote and completion window agreed?
Share candidate numbers, hiring roles, locations and the employers or qualifications per candidate. The quote and expected window depend on that scope, record completeness, source response and any field method. This guide does not publish a fixed price or guaranteed deadline.
