A register built on trust, accountability, and professional responsibility
The Vetted Professionals Register exists to help individuals and organisations identify professionals who are not only competent and properly established, but also trustworthy and safe to engage.
Inclusion on the register is not based on self-application or paid listings. It is grounded in direct personal knowledge, professional accountability, and structured verification.
Recommendation-based entry
Professionals do not apply directly. Registration begins only through recommendation by an existing registered professional who has direct personal knowledge of the individual.
Verified professional standing
Identity, lawful trading status, and appropriate insurance are verified as part of the registration process, ensuring professionals are properly established and accountable.
Peer-confirmed capability
Where appropriate, professional capability is confirmed by a registered professional operating in the same field, based on direct experience or observation.
Trust and safety in private and sensitive settings
Many professionals work in environments where trust matters as much as technical ability. This includes private homes, workplaces, and situations involving women, children, or vulnerable individuals.
This register adds an integrity layer that cannot be established through documents alone. Because professionals are recommended and endorsed based on direct personal knowledge, inclusion reflects known conduct, judgement, and responsibility over time.
The aim is not simply compliance, but reassurance.
A structured vetting framework
Recommendation is only the beginning. The vetting process is layered and evidence-based, combining personal knowledge, formal verification, and peer accountability.
Full details of how recommendations, confirmations, and checks are handled are explained in the vetting framework.
