CarerCheck | CSI Africa

The ultimate background screening solution for institutions and people who work with children.

Create safe environments for children of all ages

Slash the potential for damaging legal action and bad press

Get full compliance with legislation aimed at the protection of children

CarerCheck builds safe learning environments with targeted background checks on adults who work in educational environments. Young learners are better protected against abuse, and your institution is better protected against severe legal action and bad publicity.

Plus, you'll enjoy effortless compliance with the South African Council for Educators' (SACE) registration requirements, the Children’s Act (38 of 2005), and the Sexual Offences and Related Matters Act (32 of 2007).

At CSI Africa we don’t take shortcuts. All checks are performed according to legislative best practices. The laws that govern this process are the Children’s Act 38 of 2005 (as amended) and Sexual Offences and Related Matters Act 32 of 2007 (as amended).

Who should be screened?

If you employ people who work directly with children, the Children’s Act (38 of 2005) and the Sexual Offences and Related Matters Act (32 of 2007) requires screening of each individual. The context in which contact with children occur is irrelevant, which means that even volunteers, interns, Sunday-school teachers and pastors, for example, are subject to screening.

Credential Verification

We use a digital, secure vault to capture and upload the details of current and prospective carers, teachers, and other educators. These include IDs, driver’s licences, PDPs (in case of persons transporting children), digital fingerprints, a photograph, and other relevant documents. The Vault is compliant with the Protection of Personal Information (POPI) Act (4 of 2013) and only the employer will have access to his/her employee details via a username and password we will provide.

All necessary information is submitted to a number of government databases on behalf of employers. We adhere to the protocols stipulated in the relevant legislation such as the POPI Act, Children’s Act, and the Sexual Offences and Related Matter’s Act.

At the end of the process you will rececive a CarerCheck Certificate listing the employees who have been vetted. Display your CarerCheck Certificate on your premises to show your institution is compliant with current legislation aimed at keeping children safe.
