Why Schools and Academy Trusts Need Consistent Background Checks.
Managing background checks for schools manually can create unnecessary administration, slow down onboarding, and make it harder to maintain consistent safer recruitment practices.
For schools, multi-academy trusts, colleges, and education recruitment teams, disconnected systems can make it difficult to track pre-employment checks, maintain accurate records, and support KCSIE compliance across multiple schools.
Education teams tell us they struggle to:
Apply KCSIE safer recruitment requirements consistently across schools
Complete DBS and Right to Work checks efficiently
Track candidate progress across multiple background checks
Maintain clear screening records and audit trails for inspections
Reduce avoidable onboarding delays during busy recruitment periods
How We Help?
EBC Global provides automated background check software for schools, multi-academy trusts, colleges, and education recruitment agencies, helping teams manage pre-employment screening through one secure platform or API integration.
Whether you’re recruiting for one school or managing checks across multiple academies, our employment screening software gives your team greater visibility over candidate progress, outstanding checks and completed screening records.

Eliminate High-Volume Manual Admin
Reduce the administrative workload of education employment checks with automated vetting software for schools and academy trusts.
From automated candidate reminders and document collection to employment reference chasing and screening progress tracking, EBC Global helps education recruitment teams manage high-volume safer recruitment screening, reduce avoidable post-offer delays, and keep recruitment moving during busy staffing periods.
Recruit Education Staff Faster
Create a smoother candidate journey for pre-employment checks in schools, helping education recruitment teams reduce avoidable delays between job offers and onboarding.

What Compliant Safer Recruitment Screening Looks like in Education?
Schools, multi-academy trusts, and education recruitment teams must carry out appropriate pre-employment checks to support safer recruitment and meet relevant safeguarding requirements.
Depending on the role, these may include identity and address verification, Right to Work checks, Enhanced DBS checks, employment references, qualification verification, and other role-specific checks outlined in Keeping Children Safe in Education (KCSIE) guidance.
EBC Global helps education employers manage relevant background checks through one automated platform, supporting consistent screening workflows, clearer candidate tracking and organised compliance records.
Direct Integrations With Official UK Government Services
EBC Global provides employment checks for education through secure integrations with official UK screening services, helping schools, academy trusts and education recruitment agencies manage their pre-employment checks more efficiently.
As a DBS Responsible Organisation and Registered Body (RO/RB), we process DBS applications directly and undergo regular compliance audits, giving education employers confidence in how their screening checks are managed.
Alongside DBS and Right to Work checks, our software supports employment referencing and wider pre-employment screening, helping education teams maintain a consistent, secure and traceable approach to safer recruitment.
What Our Clients Think
We constantly ask ourselves one question: ‘where are schools losing time in their recruitment?’ And pre-employment screening was a big part of that loss. This new integration with EBC Global will save weeks of time for busy schools, MATs and trusts.
