How It Works

What we check before we introduce two organisations.

Providers, programmes, recruitment organisations and individual counsellors are checked against the role they will perform in the partnership.

What the result tells you

An approved profile answers practical partnership questions

It shows which organisation, office, team, market, programme, service and authority were reviewed. It also shows restrictions, current status and the information that still belongs in the parties’ own due diligence.
