Licence ReadyGood to GoTalk to usWorking technology. Clear evidence.
Licence Ready brings operative evidence, licence monitoring and permission-based workforce visibility into one connected platform, powered by Certchain. It helps companies and security buyers ask better questions, identify gaps and understand the evidence behind a person’s suitability for the work.
Our verification and assurance services are live. We are developing a wider independent certification framework as a separate stage.Four connected areas
Connect the person, the company and the buyer’s requirements, while keeping the source and meaning of the evidence clear.
SIA licence status is checked through the platform’s SIA connection, rather than inferred from an uploaded badge image. Identity and qualification evidence can also be brought into the professional record. The checking route matters: an uploaded document, a company attestation and a source-verified credential carry different meanings.
The Operative Passport brings qualifications, work history, learning and supporting evidence together. SKEB organises Skills, Knowledge, Experience and Behaviours into an evidence-based competence picture that develops with the record. It can support development conversations and checks against defined role requirements. A score is decision support, not a guarantee of suitability for every assignment.
Company evidence reviews can cover identity, insurance, governance and workforce controls against an agreed scope. Within consented organisation links, companies can review relevant workforce evidence and requirement fit across their connected supply chain. An account or evidence record does not itself confer independent certification.
Start with the work: what must the supplier and its people demonstrate? The platform can compare relevant records with defined requirements and produce a dated evidence pack showing matches, gaps and caveats. Buyers receive relevant evidence through agreed sharing arrangements. Their appointment and deployment decisions remain their responsibility.
Inside Licence Ready
This existing Licence Ready system capture shows an example operative’s profile summary and SKEB overview. Open it at full size to inspect the detail.
The connected platform
Define what the role, contract or venue requires the supplier and its people to demonstrate.
Use permission-based links to bring participating companies, operatives and project requirements into the relevant view.
Review evidence and its status against the requirement. Distinguish a supported match from missing or insufficient evidence.
Keep the dated evidence pack and follow relevant changes through monitoring where enabled. Decisions remain with the accountable people and organisations.
What verification means
A Verified Passport can contain information with different origins and checking routes. Review the status of each relevant item, not just the name of the record.
Information entered or uploaded by an individual. It is not independently verified merely because it is on the record.
A document or other material supporting a statement. Its presence alone does not establish authenticity or current validity.
A company has reviewed or confirmed information within its scope. This is distinct from independent source verification.
Information checked through the relevant source or accepted verification route. The assurance relates to that item, route and check, not every statement in the Passport.
Access and accountability
Organisation links require consent, with controls over what participating organisations share. An operative can withdraw consent without losing their professional record.
Sharing a document report creates a point-in-time copy. Withdrawing platform access does not retrieve a copy already supplied. Access to a linked organisation does not mean unrestricted access to its private notes and decisions.
Verification checks and changes are recorded with dates in the platform audit trail. Evidence packs describe the position at the time they are produced. Monitoring applies to supported checks, not every uploaded document.
Read our Privacy Notice for how personal information is handled. Do not send identity documents or DBS information through the public enquiry form or website assistant.
Responsibilities and independence
Licence Ready complements SIA licensing, employer screening and relevant BS 7858 requirements. It does not deliver a complete formal BS 7858 screening service or replace the employer’s screening decision.
Licence Ready is independent of the SIA and S12, and is not endorsed by either. Licence Ready is not UKAS-accredited. The wider independent certification framework remains in development.
Open marketplace discovery and a dedicated buyer account are future features. Buyer assurance is currently supported through agreed evidence packs and linked-project arrangements.
