Why is a Background Check required and what are the deciding factors in passing?
Arise and its clients have high integrity standards and, thus, no one can become an Arise Certified Professional if they are convicted, pled guilty or pled no contest to a felony or certain misdemeanor charges (such as fraud). Some clients have more stringent standards with respect to being eligible to service their particular account. The UK Background Check is conducted by Disclosure Scotland. When your residential address is in the UK and you have lived there for 12 months or more, you can apply for your background check online. If you have lived at your current address for less than 12 months you will have to apply by completing a paper application form that can be downloaded from Disclosure Scotland’s website. Disclosure Scotland processes 90% of background check requests within 14 calendar days and charge £25 for the service. You pay Disclosure Scotland directly using a credit or a debit card.
