2 min readIntroducing the New 'Online Checks' Featureposted 5 months ago
In association with our partner Verifile, we are now able to offer additional online checks to the Enhanced DBS Service, directly through the app.
The new "Online Checks" section for Schools/Trusts to use to record online and social media information as per the latest KCSiE guidelines. KCSiE 2022 recommends that educational settings should consider conducting online searches as part of their due diligence during the recruitment process.
Below we have outlined what these additional services include and how much they cost. If you would like more information you can email our support team at help@scrtacker.com.
Social Media Search
Verifile's search will check an individual's online reputation across various social media platforms, identifying both positive and negative aspects of their online activity.
The search looks for positive activities such as charitable and volunteering work, as well as inappropriate content such as illegal activities, discriminatory or hateful behaviour, violence, extreme views, potential addictions, or sexually explicit content.
The search is using artificial intelligence to translate content from most languages into English. All reports include a screen grab of the social media profile page and any ‘red flag’ material found. You can read more about their social media screening service by clicking here.
How long will it take and how much does it cost?
The social media search costs £42.50 and takes 2-4 working days.
