Background Checks for Swim Schools: How SafestHires Serves British Swim School Locations

Swim instructors work closely with children, often in the water and hands-on. British Swim School teaches swimmers from as young as three months old, so screening the people who teach them is a basic part of hiring.

SafestHires serves British Swim School franchise locations. Here is the package they use and how each search fits.

British Swim School and Buzz Franchise Brands

British Swim School is one of the brands of Buzz Franchise Brands, which also includes Home Clean Heroes.

SafestHires is one of Buzz Franchise Brands' preferred vendors for background checks. It is not the only preferred vendor, and each franchise owner chooses the screening provider for their own location.

The swim-school background check package

The package British Swim School locations use with SafestHires includes:

• SSN Address Trace
• 7 Year County Criminal Search
• Nationwide Criminal Database Search
• Federal Criminal Search
• 50-State Sex Offender Registries Search

Locations can also add a **Driving Record** for staff who drive for work, such as traveling between pool sites.

What each search covers

SSN Address Trace

Develops names and addresses associated with the applicant's Social Security number so the right counties can be searched. It supports the criminal searches but is not itself a criminal-record search.

7 Year County Criminal Search

Searches county criminal court records where the applicant has lived, within a seven-year scope.

Nationwide Criminal Database Search

Searches a multi-jurisdiction database of criminal records. Database hits are confirmed at the source court before reporting, because databases can be incomplete or out of date.

Federal Criminal Search

Searches U.S. federal district court records, a separate court system from county courts.

50-State Sex Offender Registries Search

Checks public sex offender registries maintained by the states, such as those linked through the National Sex Offender Public Website.

Optional: Driving Record

Returns the applicant's state motor vehicle record, such as license status and violations, for roles that drive.

Questions about swim-school background checks

Why include the 50-state sex offender registry search?

Because instructors work directly with children. The registry search checks public state sex offender registries, which is separate from a court-record search.

Does a British Swim School franchisee have to use SafestHires?

No. SafestHires is one of Buzz Franchise Brands' preferred vendors, but not the only one. Each franchise owner chooses their provider.

Can independent swim schools use the same package?

Yes. Any swim school can order these searches and add or remove searches by position.
