Revolutionary New Background Screening Tool for Universities - eBulk UniPro

 

CBS, a supplier on Crescent Purchasing Consortium’s HR, Payroll and Employee Screening Framework, have created a purpose-built tool for Universities and Higher Education Establishments to perform background checks.

Before the eBulk Uni Pro tool was created, CBS found that there was a huge administration burden that universities and colleges face every year when onboarding new students for the academic year, as universities and colleges have a responsibility to perform background checks for all students who apply to courses where DBS checks are required.

This new background screening tool has been designed, developed, and tailored specifically for universities & colleges with the need to background check and screen students each academic year.

 

When are DBS checks required for university or college students?

Background checks are required for courses that may involve contact with vulnerable people or children.  Courses that may require these DBS checks revolve around education or care and often require DBS checks so that they can complete a placement as part of their curriculum.

These checks will also be needed for international students who wish to enrol on these courses alongside their right to work visas and other international checks.

 

The eBulk UniPro tool will:

  • Manage all levels of DBS applications, as well as PVG and Access NI.

  • Manage the annual subscriptions to the Update Service and where required run, additional status checks on a quarterly basis to ensure there is no change to the individual’s criminal history.

  • Allow bulk creation of DBS applications.

  • Provide branding options, customisable notifications and reminder services.

  • Allow the applicants to track their certificates and reduce the administrative burden on the admissions team.

  • Provide a unique ID validation process for international students.

  • Provides a simpler ID validation check to be completed by nearly 1000 Post Office branches across the UK.

  • Detects students and staff who have lived outside of the UK for more than 6 months and manages the automatic process to obtain an international criminal check from 196 countries across the world.

  • Provide unbeatable completion times allowing students into placements quicker.

  • Allow online payment by credit or debit cards.
