BPSS, Baseline Personnel Security Standard, is the foundation level of employee screening required by government departments and companies contracted to the UK Government. It is also increasingly used by many private sector organisations as part of their screening process, irrespective of whether they are contracted to a UK government organisation.
The three "minimum requirement" components of BPSS screening are as follows:
1. Full identity check and UK right to work.
2. CRB Disclosure of any unspent criminal offences
3. Employment history references (normally 3 years)
For employment within controlled government functions, or for private sector employees contracted to such functions, then higher levels of screening may be required such as CTC, SC or DV. The higher levels of screening can only be carried out when authorised by a sponsoring organisation; the CTC, SC and DV levels of screening cannot be provided for private companies without such sponsorship.
