The final gamma framework has been published on GOV.UK along with updated supplementary codes, covering the proficiency standards for identity verification services for right to work, right to rent, and Disclosure and Barring Service checks.
From July, assessment bodies will be able to certify services against the updated requirements. Businesses were given time to prepare for the incoming requirements when a draft of the gamma framework was pre-released in November.
‘Gamma’ states more comprehensive criteria which identity providers will have to be certified against if they opt for the government accreditation. Independent certification bodies will maintain their own registries, but ODIA aims to make it easier to search services’ registration and certification details on GOV.UK.
