Imagine having a dedicated compliance advisor on your team. Someone who knows UK employment screening and vetting inside out. Someone your HR managers, compliance officers and business owners can go to with any question at any time and get a clear, practical, reliable answer they can act on straight away. Someone who is always up to date, never overwhelmed and never unavailable.

That is exactly what Charlotte is. And she is included in every Vetting Hub subscription.

Charlotte is your Screening, Vetting, Compliance and Risk Advisor, built into your account and available around the clock. She is built on the knowledge of Graham and Vivianne Johnson, who spent over 20 years running one of the UK's specialist employment screening and vetting companies.

During that time they processed hundreds of thousands of vetting files, identified forged documents, managed complex disclosure decisions and defended client audits across some of the most demanding sectors in the UK, including security, healthcare, financial services, education and government contracting. That depth of real-world operational knowledge is what Charlotte is built on. It is not textbook compliance. It is the knowledge that comes from doing this work at the highest level for two decades.

Charlotte covers every aspect of UK employment screening and vetting. She knows every level of DBS check and the eligibility rules for each. She knows right to work inside out for every nationality and immigration status. She knows BS7858, BPSS and FCA screening in detail. She covers identity verification, financial checks, sanctions searches, international criminal record checks, social media screening, data protection and defensible decision making. Over 240 individual topics, each one covered with the depth and clarity your team needs to get it right.

She stays current so your team stays compliant. As legislation changes, as new guidance is issued and as regulatory requirements evolve, Charlotte is updated to reflect it. Your team is always working from accurate, up to date compliance knowledge, whether that means the latest Home Office right to work guidance, changes to the DBS system, updates under the Data Use and Access Act 2025 or shifts in FCA regulatory expectations.

Your dedicated compliance advisor. Available 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Built on 20 years of specialist expertise. Always current. Always included.

Others use the time to review their entire screening infrastructure, get independent advice on vetting processes or work through a complex case where an expert second opinion is genuinely needed. Some simply use the sessions to get straight answers to the questions that keep coming up, from two people who have dealt with those same situations many times before.

The six hours can be spread across the year in whatever way works best for your organisation. If you need additional consultancy time beyond what is included, further sessions can be booked at £300 per hour.

The Vetting Hub Intelligence Briefing is a monthly newsletter written personally by Graham and Vivianne Johnson and delivered directly to your inbox. It is included in every Hub subscription across all three tiers and is also available free to any organisation that wants to stay informed about employment screening, vetting and compliance in the UK.

Each edition covers the things that actually matter to the people responsible for getting screening right. What recent legislative changes mean in practice. New and emerging fraud threats including the growing use of AI generated documents, deepfake candidates and paid referee services. Sector specific compliance updates. Practical guidance on the screening challenges that organisations face most regularly. Real insights drawn from over 20 years of working in this industry at an operational level.

This is not a marketing newsletter. It is written by two people who have spent their entire careers in employment screening and who understand that the people reading it need practical, usable information rather than noise. If something significant has changed in the world of vetting, screening or compliance risk, your organisation will hear about it from people who genuinely understand what it means and what you should do about it.

The pre-audit vetting file review services are for organisations that have an ACS, SIA, NSI or SSAIB inspection on the horizon and want to know exactly where their vetting files stand before the auditor walks through the door. Both services are available to any organisation with or without a Hub subscription.

Graham and Vivianne Johnson personally review every file in detail, drawing on over 20 years of experience on both sides of the audit process. They know precisely what inspectors look for, what gets flagged, what triggers further scrutiny and what a defensible screening decision actually looks like. Once the review is complete they provide a comprehensive written report that identifies exactly what would be raised during an inspection and sets out clear practical recommendations on what needs to be corrected and how to address it before your inspection takes place.

The 10 file review is priced at £997 and works well for smaller operations or organisations that want a focused assessment of a specific part of their screening process. The 25 file review is priced at £1,597 and is the better choice for organisations with larger screening operations or those expecting a thorough examination of their vetting function. Both services include the full written report and every review is carried out personally by Graham and Vivianne Johnson.

Yes absolutely. Standalone consultancy sessions with Graham and Vivianne Johnson are available to any organisation at £300 per hour and you do not need to hold a Vetting Hub subscription to book one.

Organisations come to these sessions for all sorts of reasons. Some are facing an imminent inspection and need urgent expert input on their screening processes before the auditor arrives. Some have been through a screening failure or a near miss and need practical guidance on how to respond and what needs to change going forward.

Some are in the middle of reviewing their screening processes as part of a wider compliance programme and want an independent expert view before they make any significant decisions. Others simply need a straight answer from someone who genuinely knows this field inside out, without wanting to commit to anything longer term.

Every session is conducted privately via video call and is focused entirely on your organisation and the challenges you are facing. If at the end of a session you decide that a Hub subscription makes sense for your organisation, Graham and Vivianne will be happy to talk you through which tier best fits your needs and what you can expect from the moment you join.

When you look at the numbers honestly, yes it is. The average salary for a compliance officer in the UK sits somewhere between £35,000 and £55,000 per year. That figure does not include employer National Insurance contributions, pension obligations, holiday cover, recruitment fees or the very real possibility that one individual, however well qualified, simply may not have the specific depth of knowledge that employment screening compliance requires.

The Professional Hub costs £397 per month, which is £4,764 per year. The Organisation Hub costs £597 per month, which is £7,164 per year. Even the Advisory Hub at £1,297 per month, which comes to £15,564 per year and includes six hours of dedicated expert consultancy on top of the full Hub, costs considerably less than the salary of a junior compliance hire before any additional employment costs are taken into account.

The cost comparison only tells part of the story though. Vetting Hub gives your organisation something that a single hire cannot provide on their own. A continuously updated library of specialist CPD certified courses. A comprehensive suite of ready to use compliance toolkits.

A Hub that trains and certifies your entire team rather than depending on one person to pass their knowledge on to everyone else. And for Advisory Hub subscribers, direct private access to two specialists whose combined operational experience in employment screening is almost certainly greater than anyone you would realistically be able to bring into the organisation as an employee.

Getting started is genuinely straightforward. Visit the subscriptions page, choose the Hub that fits your organisation best and complete your sign up. All three subscriptions are 12 month contracts billed monthly, so your first payment activates your membership immediately and everything begins from that point.

Your branded Hub is set up for your organisation, your administrators receive access to the admin dashboard and your whole team can start working through the full course and toolkit library straight away. There is no waiting around and no complicated setup process. Everything is ready the moment you join.

If you would prefer to see The Hub before making a decision, you are very welcome to book a free demonstration. We will walk you through exactly what your organisation receives, answer any questions you have and help you work out which subscription tier makes the most sense for your team. There is no obligation to sign up at the end of it and no pressure to make a decision on the day.

For organisations that have an audit coming up or a compliance challenge that needs attention right now, standalone consultancy sessions and pre-audit file reviews can be booked directly without a subscription. You do not have to wait until you are ready to join to get access to Graham and Vivianne Johnson. If you need expert help today, it is available today.
