GUIDANCE:

The period of time that we will conduct our checks on is entirely dependent on how far back your potential employer wishes us to look. This period that they ask us to cover is known as the 'Activity Period'. 

Common activity periods can range from the last 3-5 years. 

For Third Party Checks - such as International Checks - the verified period is defined by the governing authorities' requirements.

RECAP:
