Jam Coding are a Blackburn-based firm with a national mission…
Managing Director, Roger Grogan, and his team are at the forefront of trying to get the UK curriculum changed. Their work helps young people get access to training that gives them the digital skills needed in a modern economy.
They bring attention to the lack of strong digital training in schools. The education they provide is helping lay the foundation for the next generation of digital citizens. With plans for a franchise in the works, the future looks bright for Jam Coding.
Personnel Checks have worked alongside Jam Coding since 2018 and with their director, Roger Grogan for several years before that. Before signing up with Personnel Checks as Jam Coding, Roger (pictured) used us with through another client of ours, Sportscool.
We caught up with Roger to talk about his history with DBS checks and how we’ve helped on their journey.
“Obviously safeguarding our learners is of the highest priority so for us it is essential to get quick DBS checks for the staff we take on. As we continue to grow on a national level we needed to work with a company that could make sure we were compliant efficiently. I have no doubt that Personnel Checks will be a big part of that journey.”
They had been processing DBS checks through a county council. Submitting checks using paper application forms and sending these off by post. The council’s other priorities also meant it was difficult to ask for advice or assistance.
This means their checks were often taking 6+ weeks to complete. Not to mention all the extra admin involved! When you have contract work in schools, you cannot afford to be waiting for a DBS check.
Changing to Personnel Checks proved a good choice. With our quick and easy online system, the results started coming through much quicker:
100% of applications were submitted on the day of completion.
78% of checks came back in 5 days or less.
47 % of all checks submitted were completed in less than 24 hours.
We love being able to help local companies with background screening. It can be a complicated place to find yourself!
Our background screening services offer an easily scalable solution that will no doubt be invaluable for their franchising plans. We provide:
Access to expert advice across multiple channels.
Quick and simple online submissions.
All applications submitted the same day.
Half of all checks submitted completed in 24 hours or less.
