INDEPENDENT ASSURANCE
Independent assurance and evidence for subcontracted workforces
The final Home Office guidance makes clear that contractual terms alone are not enough. Organisations may need to demonstrate that controls operated effectively in practice. CrewDiligence connects the worker, project and controls in one evidence trail.
THE ASSURANCE OUTCOME
What is independent workforce assurance?
Independent workforce assurance reviews whether required controls around organisations, workers, attendance, substitutions and evidence operated in practice. CrewDiligence connects those records into one project evidence trail.
01
Who was allowed to work?
Connect organisation onboarding, project approval, worker allocation and Right to Work evidence.
02
Who actually worked?
Connect identity, attendance and any substitutions to the project record.
03
What controls operated?
Connect contract controls, audits, exceptions and corrective actions to the work that took place.
STRUCTURED EVIDENCE
What evidence can support an extended-liability statutory excuse?
Where extended liability applies, an organisation seeking a statutory excuse must meet the prescribed requirements relevant to its contractual arrangements. Reasonable and proportionate steps, supported by evidence, should demonstrate that controls operated effectively in practice.
01
Context for the record
Organisation and project information establish the arrangement around the worker.
02
What is retained at project close-out?
CrewDiligence brings organisation, project, worker, attendance and assurance records together into a structured close-out evidence pack. Approvals, attendance, exceptions and corrective actions show how controls operated; the pack does not itself establish a statutory excuse.
Audits
Retain audit records against the relevant project, subcontractor or worker record.
Assurance
Connect assurance information received from employers or service providers with the relevant controls and supporting records.
Reviews
Retain compliance reviews showing how arrangements and controls were assessed in practice.
How are exceptions and corrective actions recorded?
Record how concerns were identified, who acted and how corrective actions were resolved, with a retained evidence history.
EXTENDED LIABILITY ASSESSMENT
Start with a structured assessment of your current controls.
Review your contractual chain, substitutions, identity assurance and evidence. Start with the Extended Liability Assessment.

Assurance around your existing responsibilities.
