These checks are typically used as part of background screening processes for roles involving access to sensitive research environments.

These sectors may include:

In these environments, organisations may apply additional screening measures to help protect research operations and facility security.
Animal Rights Checks and Wider Employment Screening
Animal rights checks are typically conducted alongside other employment screening checks when recruiting for sensitive roles.
