How do I know if a caretaker or care agency is genuinely verified?
Ask for their Slesea ID and check it at slesea.com/verify. Slesea verification is confirmed against the live record, not a claim on a document — a screenshot or a printed certificate proves nothing on its own, because anyone can fabricate an image.
Key takeaways
- Every verified provider on Slesea has a Slesea ID that anyone can check publicly.
- Verification is checked against the live record, so a forged certificate fails immediately.
- Care professionals hold a public portfolio; organisations hold a verification certificate.
- A provider who cannot give you a checkable Slesea ID has not been verified by Slesea.
Why a certificate alone is not proof
A printed certificate, a PDF or a screenshot can be fabricated by anyone with basic image editing. Slesea therefore treats the live record as the only proof: the certificate carries a QR code and a Slesea ID that resolve to the authoritative record at slesea.com/verify. If the ID does not resolve, the document is worthless regardless of how convincing it looks.
What Slesea checks before a provider goes live
Slesea verifies identity and credentials before a profile becomes visible to families. Care professionals additionally display their qualifications, experience and reviews on a public portfolio, so families can judge suitability rather than just legitimacy.
