What if my screening reveals negative information?

Whilst the term "negative information" is subjective depending on the context, some negative information can impact your employment. It is our job to document and gather evidence for all aspects of the screening process, this information is then passed on to your employer. What happens after that is entirely at their discretion. If negative information is discovered, the final decision of whether to continue with your screening lies entirely with your employer.

Cooperation with our screening team will ensure your screening is completed quickly and efficiently, preventing any delays in starting your employment.

Negative or Adverse information is usually uncovered by the Sanctions Check, DBS Check, Directorship Check or Credit Check.

Employers prefer honesty, so it is best to declare any negative information rather than conceal it and have it uncovered by the screening process. When signing the consent form, you declare that all the information provided is accurate. Withholding information is a breach of this contract and can have more of an impact on your employment than if you declare everything from the start.

If you are worried about potential negative information being uncovered and how it may affect your screening, the best thing is to talk to your employer, as they are the ones who will make a decision based on the information.

If you do wish to contact us directly, you can call us on 0333 33 26 200. Our opening hours are Monday - Friday, 9am to 5pm. We are closed on bank holidays and for the period between Christmas and New Years.
