A practical course that shows you how to implement ongoing background checks and monitoring with clarity and consistency.
“When employee screening is treated as a one-off event, risks that emerge later often go unnoticed until they become problems. This course gives you a practical approach to ongoing background checks and monitoring so you can detect issues early, protect your organisation and make informed decisions over time.”
This CPD certified Continuous Employee Background Checks course, delivered by a UK Register of Learning Providers (UKRLP) registered provider, is designed for professionals and organisations responsible for maintaining compliance, reducing risk and safeguarding people throughout employment. It provides clear, practical guidance on how to implement and manage continuous background monitoring processes that support safer work environments and ongoing regulatory compliance.
Written by screening specialists with extensive industry experience, this online training explains the principles and practices involved in establishing effective post-hire screening and monitoring, interpreting signals from continuous checks, and applying risk-based decision making to identify and respond appropriately to changing risk profiles within the workforce. Learners will gain confidence in documenting outcomes accurately, maintaining robust records and integrating continuous screening with wider HR, compliance and risk management frameworks.
Suitable for HR professionals, compliance and risk teams, security managers and hiring managers, this course supports better workforce risk oversight, reinforces good governance and helps organisations build defensible, consistent and proportionate monitoring practices that align with recognised UK standards and best practice.
