When Consent Records Must Be Kept
Updated on 31 March 2026
< 1 min read
Where consent is required for a check or purpose, the consent record must not be treated as a temporary formality. It should be retained and linked properly to the relevant record.
What good practice looks like #
- Consent is obtained before the relevant search proceeds.
- Consent is linkable to the Search ID and internal reference.
- Consent details are clear enough to support audit and compliance review.
- Teams know which checks require consent and which do not.
Important: Searches that need consent should not be treated as if consent were optional or implied.
