Verification & Vetting Policy
Last Updated: 14/03/2025
Trusted-People.com (“we,” “us,” or “our”) is committed to ensuring a secure and trustworthy platform by implementing a robust worker verification process. This policy outlines the verification steps we conduct for Workers and clarifies the responsibilities of Clients (Employers) for on-site checks.
1. Overview of Worker Verification
Workers using Trusted-People.com are self-employed professionals. While we facilitate an initial verification process, it remains the Client’s responsibility to conduct any necessary on-site checks before an Assignment begins.
We conduct the following checks during the worker verification process:
- Identity Verification – Ensuring the Worker’s identity is valid.
- Right-to-Work Checks – Confirming legal work eligibility in the UK.
- Optional Qualifications Verification – Allowing Workers to provide additional certifications (e.g., DBS, SIA, CSCS) to enhance credibility.
2. Worker Verification Process
Step 1: Identity Verification
All Workers must provide:
- A valid government-issued photo ID (passport or driving license).
- Proof of address (e.g., utility bill or bank statement from the last 3 months).
Workers who successfully complete this step will have a “Verified Identity” badge on their profile.
Step 2: Right-to-Work Verification
To comply with UK employment laws, Workers must provide proof of their right to work in the UK. This may include:
- A UK passport or residence permit.
- A UK visa that permits work.
- EU Settlement Scheme documentation (if applicable).
Workers who pass this check will have a “Right to Work Verified” badge displayed on their profile.
Step 3: Optional Certifications & Qualifications
Workers may upload additional documents to enhance their profile credibility, such as:
- Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) Check – Required for roles involving vulnerable people.
- Security Industry Authority (SIA) Licence – Required for security-related roles.
- Construction Skills Certification Scheme (CSCS) Card – Required for construction-related roles.
- Other relevant industry-specific certifications.
Workers with verified qualifications will have respective badges displayed on their profiles, but Clients must verify these credentials before an Assignment begins.
3. Employer Responsibilities for On-Site Checks
While Trusted-People.com facilitates worker verification, Clients remain responsible for verifying credentials and ensuring compliance on-site. Employers should:
- Check original documents (e.g., DBS, SIA, CSCS) upon the Worker’s arrival.
- Confirm right-to-work status using government guidelines.
- Verify identity in person to prevent impersonation.
- Ensure workers meet any legal or regulatory requirements before allowing them to begin work.
Trusted-People.com is not liable for any failure by the Client to conduct on-site verification.
4. Misrepresentation & False Information
Workers found to have uploaded false or misleading documents may face:
- Immediate removal from Trusted-People.com.
- Reporting to relevant authorities if fraudulent activity is suspected.
- Legal action where applicable.
Clients must report any suspected fraudulent activity immediately via [support contact].
5. Updates to This Policy
We may update this policy periodically. The latest version will always be available on our website.
