SUPPORTING DOCUMENTATION

Screening & Verification Agreement

The Expertise Exchange (ExEx)

Draft for legal review

Role of ExEx

ExEx provides Verification Coordination/Management. ExEx does not hold itself out as the independent verifier where a specialist third party performs the check.

Possible checks

Independent providers

Where an independent provider is used, the Expertise Partner may be required to contract directly with that provider. ExEx may arrange, administer and, where agreed, pay the provider on the Expertise Partner's behalf as part of a Verification Management Fee.

Verification outcome

ExEx may record an outcome such as Verified, Further Information Required or Not Applicable, together with the date and scope of the check. A verification outcome applies only to the matters actually checked and should not be interpreted as a guarantee.

Data minimisation

ExEx will seek to retain verification outcomes and necessary evidence rather than unnecessary copies of identity documents. Personal data will be handled in accordance with the Privacy & Data Protection Notice.

Accuracy and continuing duty

The person being verified must provide genuine and accurate information and notify ExEx of material changes that could make a previous verification misleading.

Assignment-specific checks

A general ExEx verification does not remove the need for additional checks required by law, regulation, insurance or the Client for a particular assignment.
