🔍 Should MPs and peers face mandatory criminal record checks? (Spoiler: Yes!) A recent Sky News article highlighted calls for mandatory DBS checks for new MPs and peers. This raises an important conversation about the broader issue: there are many roles across the UK where background checks aren’t required, even in positions with significant responsibility and public trust. Whether it’s in Parliament, education, healthcare, or beyond, implementing thorough background checks helps foster accountability, trust, and safety. https://lnkd.in/eEyusPrK

A week on: Huge interest in Background Checking innovation 🚀 Last week, we announced something the background checking industry needed for a very long time. Since then, we’ve been 𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘸𝘩𝘦𝘭𝘮𝘦𝘥 𝘣𝘺 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘪𝘯𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘦𝘴𝘵 from recruitment and HR teams looking for something new — solutions that bring real innovation to background screening, a space that, frankly, hasn’t seen change in years. The feedback is clear: 🔍 Companies want faster, more efficient, and tech-driven checks. ⚙️ Traditional systems are outdated and no longer fit for purpose. 💡 Organizations are ready to embrace innovative solutions that offer reliability without compromising speed or compliance. We’re thrilled to be at the forefront of this movement. If you missed our original post, check it out here:

💡 Are your background checks adding real value? 💡 Here’s a key question to ask about your screening process: 𝗔𝗿𝗲 𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗰𝗵𝗲𝗰𝗸𝘀 𝘆𝗼𝘂’𝗿𝗲 𝗱𝗼𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗿𝘂𝗹𝘆 𝗻𝗲𝗰𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗮𝗿𝘆? Take references, for example. They’re often the most costly and time-consuming part of the process. If you’re only doing them to meet a standard (like BPSS or BS7858), there are alternatives available, such as using HMRC data, that can save you time and money while still meeting compliance requirements. At Chexperts, we specialise in helping businesses rethink their approach to background checks, ensuring every step adds real value.
