UK Compliance Support
Candidate compliance, handled to UK standards. Right to Work checks, DBS and Disclosure Scotland, references, professional registrations and document checks — chased, verified and kept audit-ready for REC, NHS and framework inspection, so your consultants place people instead of chasing paperwork.
Placements move at the speed of compliance
Every placement waits on its paperwork — we make sure the paperwork is never the bottleneck.
Our team runs the compliance workload behind your placements: verifying right-to-work and ID, chasing references to completion, processing DBS and registration checks, collecting documents and keeping every candidate file structured to the checklist you’re audited against.
Expiries are tracked and chased before workers fall out of compliance, and files stay audit-ready every day — not just the week before an inspection. Use us as a full outsourced desk or as overflow support for peaks, audits and backlogs.
Every compliance support engagement includes:
- Right-to-work and ID verification on every candidate
- Reference chasing to completion, with a full contact log
- DBS and professional registration checks processed and recorded
- Document expiry tracking with alerts and proactive renewals
- Audit-ready files structured to your framework requirements

The benefits of outsourced compliance support
Audit-ready every day
Files are kept structured, complete and evidenced continuously — so a framework audit is a formality, not a fire drill.
Faster time-to-placement
Checks are chased in parallel from day one, so cleared candidates reach bookable status days sooner — and placements stop stalling on paperwork.
Lower back-office cost
A specialist desk processing compliance at volume costs far less than consultant time or additional heads — and it scales up and down with your pipeline.
Where compliance support helps
Compliance support flexes to your operation. Here are the most common ways agencies use it:
Framework & client audits
Audit weeks are notorious — consultants pulled off desks, files patched at midnight, findings that damage framework standing.
We keep files audit-ready continuously and run structured pre-audit reviews, so inspections pass on the evidence that’s already there.

Freeing consultants from paperwork
Every hour a consultant spends chasing a reference is an hour not spent filling a role.
We absorb the chasing, checking and filing entirely, giving your consultants their selling day back while compliance quality goes up, not down.
Never missing an expiry
DBS renewals, visa dates, registrations, training certificates — across hundreds of workers, something always slips.
Our tracking flags every expiry ahead of time and chases the renewal, so workers stay bookable and your framework record stays clean.
Our process
We slot into your systems and checklists, and in general this is how we’d work with you:
Onboard your requirements and checklists
Collect and chase candidate documents
Verify, record and evidence every check
Track expiries and chase renewals
Report — audit-ready, every day
Why run compliance with Audentia?
Compliance is detail work at volume — exactly what a specialist desk does better and cheaper than stretched consultants. We work inside your systems, to your checklists, with everything evidenced.
Framework fluent
We work to NHS and client framework requirements daily — your files are structured to the checklist you’re audited against.
Everything evidenced
Every check, chase and document is logged — a complete audit trail behind every file.
Scales with you
Full outsourced desk or overflow support — the capacity flexes with your pipeline, peaks and audits.
Your systems
We work inside your CRM and compliance tools, so the data and the files stay yours.
“Before Audentia, audit season meant pulling consultants off their desks for a fortnight of file-patching. Now our files are simply always ready — the last framework audit passed without a single major finding, expiries never slip, and candidates reach bookable status days faster than before. It’s the calmest our back office has ever been.”

Insights
Compliance support case studies
From audit findings to a clean pass
After a bruising framework audit, we rebuilt 400 files to checklist and kept them there. The re-audit passed clean — and stayed that way.

Clearing a six-month compliance backlog
A merger left thousands of part-complete files. Our desk cleared the backlog in eight weeks without pausing new placements.

Cutting time-to-bookable by five days
Running checks in parallel from day one took the average candidate from offer to bookable five days faster — and filled shifts sooner.

UK recruitment compliance is unforgiving and it is administrative. Right to Work checks under the Home Office scheme, share codes for candidates with digital status, DBS at basic, standard or enhanced level, Disclosure Scotland and AccessNI, professional registration with the GMC, NMC, HCPC, GPhC or SRA, references covering the periods a framework demands, mandatory training certificates and occupational health clearance — all of it has to be collected, verified, dated and kept retrievable.
We run that workload as an extension of your compliance team. Documents are chased, checked against the issuing source where one exists, recorded against your own checklist and escalated when a candidate stalls. The result is a file that stands up to REC audit, NHS framework inspection, a client’s own supplier audit or an IR35 status review, without your consultants losing their week to it.
Right to Work, done to Home Office rules
Manual checks, share code checks and IDSP outputs recorded correctly, with the statutory excuse evidence retained in the format the Home Office expects.
DBS, Disclosure Scotland and AccessNI
Applications raised, progress chased, results recorded and expiry dates tracked across all three UK disclosure regimes.
Framework and REC audit ready
Files built to the checklist your framework or client audit actually uses, so an inspection is a retrieval exercise rather than a fire drill.

UK questions we are asked most
Do you carry out Right to Work checks for UK agencies?
We manage the process end to end: requesting documents or share codes, checking them against Home Office guidance, recording the check correctly and storing the evidence so your statutory excuse holds. Where you use an Identity Service Provider, we handle the workflow around it.
Can you handle DBS and Disclosure Scotland?
Yes, across basic, standard and enhanced levels, plus Disclosure Scotland and AccessNI, including chasing applications that have stalled and tracking renewal dates.
Will this keep us ready for a framework or REC audit?
That is the point of it. Files are built to the checklist your framework, client or REC membership requires, with dated evidence for every item, so an audit is a matter of producing the file rather than rebuilding it.
Do you support IR35 and umbrella documentation?
We collect and organise the documentation trail around status determinations, contracts and umbrella arrangements so it is complete and retrievable. We do not make the status determination itself — that stays with you and your advisers.
