Rose Partners provides employee background checks that go beyond standard criminal records checks. Their checks use multiple databases and open source information to verify identities, employment histories, right to work statuses, and assess inconsistencies. They produce a concise report indicating whether an individual passed or failed the background check and the reasons why. Their goal is to help employers ensure individuals can be trusted, especially in positions of trust.

1. Employee Extended Background Checks
About Rose Partners
Rose Partners is an ISO 9001 compliant security risk consultancy that focuses on both private and
corporate client work. Our highly experienced management team has a very broad range of skills
including in marketing, venture capital, diplomacy, IT, training, armed forces, policing and security.
We specialise in the assessment and management of risk, a particular element of which, for employers,
is the conduct of their employees.
The rationale for carrying out background checks
In the past, for those employees requiring background checking, a criminal records check (CRB) - now
known as a Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) check - and verification of a person's employment
record was regarded as adequate.
There is an increased demand now for background checking of employees. Employers are becoming
increasingly responsible for ensuring not only that the person they are employing is who they say they
are but also that that person is of the appropriate background and character, particularly when being
placed in positions of trust with clients and third parties. This responsibility has become ever more
challenging because of the freedom of movement within the EU and the capability of unscrupulous
people to falsify records.
A DBS check only takes into account UK criminal records. This check is of little value if a potential
employee has only recently arrived in the UK. It does not verify a person's right to work or the integrity
of the information they provide to employers.
The background checks we carry out access a large number of data bases and interrogate open source
information on the Internet. We use the latest technology to search multiple data bases and then
cross-reference the searches to provide thoroughly comprehensive background checks. We deliver
peace of mind to an employer that the people they are engaging and placing in positions of trust are
who they say they are.
What are background checks?
In the broadest sense, background checks are used to ascertain an employee's or prospective
employee's probity (honesty and decency) and integrity (their moral and ethical standards) to ensure
that they can be trusted in the conduct of their work.
When Rose carries out a background check we will tell you what specific data bases or information
sources have been interrogated. Each individual check is only as reliable as the data base that is

2. accessed. We will make clear what is being checked and what it means and we will provide you with
our assessment of whether a person who is the subject of a check has provided accurate information.
Background checks carried out by Rose
Our checks consist of some or all of the following:
 DBS (criminal record) check in the UK and selected overseas jurisdictions
 Address verification through checks of the electoral roll, utility bills and driving licence
 Identity
 Salacious name check
 Mortality check
 Directorships
 Social media footprint
 Right to Work
 Document integrity checks to verify the authenticity of submitted documents
A full explanation of these checks is provided in the table at the end of this information pamphlet.
We have developed an exclusive database aggregation system which allows us to deliver this service
at a more competitive rate than anyone else in the market. By using the aggregation and interrogation
software (which was traditionally done manually) we are able to keep costs down and apply more
senior and experienced manpower to the analysis.
We also add a further layer of verification by using the results to then cross reference them against
social media geolocation software, allowing you the certainty that the individual has in fact been
present in the locations given during the period evidenced, whether it be at home or at work.
Each individual check is cross-referenced against the other checks to establish with as much
confidence as reasonably possible that a person is fit to be engaged.
The checks are thorough and reliable. They will leave any employer in very little doubt about the
integrity of the people they are looking to employ.
Reconciling inconsistencies and interviewing
If there are inconsistencies between information provided as a result of our background checks and
the information provided by a person, or if insufficient information has been provided to permit an
accurate check to be carried out we will ask for further information or interview the person to
reconcile the outstanding issues.
Background check report
A concise report will be produced for each person for whom a background check has been carried
out indicating clearly whether people have passed or failed and, if the latter, the reason along with
recommendations for further action.
