A practical, evidence-based course designed to help you create robust screening policies that reflect best practice and support consistent decisions.
“Most screening policy gaps are not caused by oversight. They happen because teams struggle to structure rules, roles and decision points into a clear, usable framework. This course guides you through developing effective screening policy and frameworks so you can ensure consistency, accountability and compliance across your organisation.”
This CPD certified Creating a Screening Policy Framework course, delivered by a UK Register of Learning Providers (UKRLP) registered provider, is designed for professionals and organisations responsible for establishing, improving and embedding screening and vetting processes within their recruitment, compliance or HR frameworks. It provides clear, practical guidance on how to develop a robust and consistent screening policy framework that supports safer hiring, reduces risk and aligns with organisational governance and regulatory expectations.
Written by screening and policy specialists with extensive industry experience, this online training explains how to identify the key components of effective screening policy, define roles, responsibilities and escalation pathways, and translate screening principles into workable procedures that can be applied organisation-wide. Learners will gain confidence in documenting policy rationale appropriately, selecting relevant screening checks, integrating risk-aware decision points and supporting audit-ready governance.
Suitable for HR professionals, compliance and risk teams, security managers and hiring managers, this course helps organisations build defensible screening frameworks that are consistent, proportionate and aligned with recognised UK standards and best practice, ultimately supporting safer and more reliable recruitment and workforce assurance.
