We ran screening companies from 2006 to 2024. We built the files, sat through the audits and delivered vetting to every major standard. Now we sit on your side of the fence, helping internal teams screen properly, pass audits confidently and stop overpaying external providers for work they can do themselves.
CPD certified courses and practical toolkits covering every standard and every stage of the screening process. Browse the categories below and start building a screening function you own and control.
If you outsource your screening you are probably paying between £80 and £250 per vetting file without ever seeing a breakdown. Most of the checks inside that file are free or cost a few pounds each. The rest is margin you are handing to someone else because nobody ever showed you the real numbers.
If you already screen in house you may be saving money but that means nothing if your process would not survive an audit. We have seen internal teams miss the 31 day rule, accept documents that should never have passed and keep no record of how decisions were made.
We know both sides because we lived them for nearly 20 years. Organisations either paying too much for screening they could handle themselves or doing it in house without the training to do it right. That is exactly why we built Vetting Hub.

We are Graham and Vivianne Johnson. Between 2006 and 2024 we ran a succesful Screening and Vetting Business, we processed tens of thousands of vetting files for employers across the UK. We know what a compliant file looks like because we built them. We know what auditors look for because we were in the room when they found it. We know what goes wrong because we were the ones called in to fix it.
Now we sit on your side. Every course and toolkit on this site is built from what we learned doing the job, not from reading about it. If you want training from people who have actually processed the files, challenged the findings and defended the decisions then you are in the right place.
All courses are independently accredited by a recognised CPD body so every completed module converts into verifiable CPD hours you can record. Registration Number: 0006126
