Care Check

Based in Evesham, Care Check coordinates background checks and employment screening for organizations and applicants in the United Kingdom. Its platform lets an organization register an account, invite candidates, and manage applications in one place. The company provides administrative support through the process; the official check itself is carried out by the Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) or the relevant authority.

The service includes Basic, Standard, and Enhanced DBS checks. The appropriate level depends on the role and legal eligibility: a Basic check can show unspent convictions, while higher levels are limited to roles that meet the applicable criteria. An Enhanced check may include barred-list information when the position permits that request. Care Check provides guidance and FAQs to help users navigate each stage.

For organizations, the e-bulk system can handle groups of applications and assign users different permissions. An organization’s primary manager can invite applicants, verify identity documents, approve applications, and track progress; other user roles may have access to a narrower set of tasks. Applicants can receive instructions, submit their details, and follow an application through the tracking tools.

Care Check also offers related pre-employment screening, including employment reference checks, social media checks, digital identity verification, and right-to-work checks, as well as BPSS and checks for certain sectors. The company presents these services as parts of a broader screening process for organizations that need to combine several checks before hiring staff or volunteers.

Industries listed by the company include education, health care, adoption and foster care, charities, transportation, financial services, and recruitment. For each position, the requesting organization must determine which check it is legally eligible to request. Care Check provides eligibility guidance and links to relevant official sources rather than treating every role as if it required the same level of screening.

The process starts online, either with an organization registration or an individual application where that type of check is permitted. The platform includes application tracking, document guidance, and support for questions about using the system. It is not a substitute for general legal advice: hiring decisions and the choice of screening level remain with the requesting organization.

Care Check’s office is in Vale Park, Evesham, while much of the application management takes place online. The team handles inquiries by phone, email, and messaging on weekdays. For an organization that submits checks regularly, the administrative portal brings invitations, identity checks, status updates, and results together in one workflow.
