Personnel Screening

If your organisation provides services to children or other vulnerable groups, or handles sensitive data relating to children, screening and CRB (Criminal Records Bureau) checks of your staff are usually required. The UK's new Independent Safeguarding Authority legislation requires that public agencies put systematic processes in place to ensure effective personnel screening. However, the manual and paper-intensive nature of current screening processes means checks are time-consuming and error prone. There is also a risk that ongoing monitoring and re-checks are not carried out.

Singularity's Personnel Screening Accelerator radically reduces the complexity and 'time to completion' of screening and CRB application handling. By deploying our Personnel Screening Accelerator you can process applications more quickly and accurately, deliver greater visibility for local authority staff and managers, while minimizing manual and paper-based work and reducing inefficiency. That means more effective CRB process management.

"During the evaluation we were able to carefully analyze the capabilities of all vendors, and Singularity's software and people stood out for their technical capability and rapid delivery approach"
