“It’s great to partner with the Scaffolding Association. Our partnership allows us to help members make safer recruitment decisions, with preferential rates on all our screening checks, including DBS, Right to Work and Digital Identity Verification.” 

Trish Meyer, Head of Partnerships, Scaffolding Association stated:

“Some partnerships just make sense, and this partnership is one of them. Our members work in all types of environments and organisations and sometimes that means undertaking a screening process prior to commencing work on site. By offering screening checks at a preferential rate, our members can offer the peace of mind that clients are looking for in a cost-effective and timely way.”

Scaffolding Association members should have received an email with further details on the benefit and how to redeem. Members can also contact the uCheck team directly by calling 0300 140 0022 or emailing [email protected]
