What our verification statuses mean
Every provider listing shows a status describing where information comes from and whether the provider has confirmed it. None of these statuses are a judgement of educational quality, safeguarding practice, or suitability for any individual learner. Always carry out your own due diligence before commissioning or using any provision.
Source-backed means identity/details were assembled from documented public sources. Provider confirmed means a representative confirmed the listing after review — not that every offer field is complete or that placement is recommended.
Organisation details are assembled from documented public sources (registers, LA directories, websites). The provider has not yet confirmed the listing. This is not a quality or safeguarding judgement.
A representative of this organisation has confirmed the listing after review. Offer details may still be incomplete. This does not mean educational endorsement or suitability for a particular learner.
The platform has confirmed that the person managing this listing is genuinely connected to the organisation (for example via a matching email domain). This does not verify educational quality.
Key factual details (such as company/charity registration or address) have been cross-checked against public records. This does not constitute an endorsement of educational quality or safeguarding practice.
The provider has completed additional checks with the platform, such as confirming safeguarding documentation is in place. This still does not replace a commissioner's own due diligence.
