We exist to make safer recruitment effortless for schools.
Social Scanner Ltd was founded to give schools and education providers a modern, KCSIE-aligned way to screen candidates online — without spreadsheets, manual searches or guesswork.
Child safeguarding first
Every product decision starts with the question: does this make children safer? Risk categories, retention policy and reviewer workflow all flow from there.
Built for education
We focus exclusively on schools, trusts and the wider education sector — so the platform speaks the language of safer recruitment leads.
Transparent methodology
Two-pass research, structured evidence and named reviewers — every certificate is backed by a clear audit trail.
Security as a foundation
UK-hosted, encrypted at rest and in transit, with role-based access, audit logging and strict retention controls.
Structured, evidenced, second-pair-of-eyes
Our research process is designed to be defensible — every finding is captured, attributed and reviewed.
Trained researchers
Background checks are run by a dedicated, trained research team.
Risk categories
Findings are mapped to clear, safeguarding-relevant categories.
Quality assurance
All reports are QA-reviewed before release to the school.
Compliance is the floor, not the ceiling.
UK data residency, GDPR-aligned retention, role-based access and full audit logging — all in service of safer recruitment outcomes.
