Our Objective.
VALIDOR exists to establish a clear and consistent standard for professional transparency within private clinical services. Our objective is to ensure that credentials, insurance, and scope of practice are independently verified and accurately represented to the public.
We address the gap between what is claimed and what can be evidenced. By verifying information at source.
For the Professional
For the Public Seeking Professional Support
VALIDOR enables professionals to demonstrate their credentials through independent verification and maintain status.
Practitioners receive a public verification profile and link confirming that qualifications, insurance, and scope of practice have been verified and remain current.
Verified practitioners are also listed on the VALIDOR website within their professional category, where their credentials can be viewed and contact details accessed.
VALIDOR provides a reliable way to confirm a practitioner’s professional standing before engagement.
Qualifications, insurance, and scope of practice are independently verified so the public can make decisions based on accurate and current information
Verified information removes guesswork before engaging a practitioner

Shield Audit
Sentinel Audit
The standard of clinical transparency for your practice.
The Shield Membership is designed for qualified practitioners in the Psychology, Aesthetic, and Rehabilitation sectors who prioritize professional integrity. It moves your practice beyond self-claims by providing a continuous, independent layer of authentication that builds immediate trust with your clients.
What the Shield Membership Provides:
For an initial audit fee of £99 and a monthly subscription of £30, you receive a full-spectrum clinical validation and a suite of transparency tools:
-
Primary-Source Audit: A comprehensive manual verification of your academic degrees, professional registrations, and indemnity insurance directly with the source.
-
The VALIDOR Digital Badge: An authorized mark of transparency for use on your website, social media, and marketing materials.
-
Live-Sync Public Profile: A secure, public-facing link that displays your real-time verified status. This link can be embedded directly into your digital channels.

Active Compliance Monitoring: Ongoing oversight of your professional standing. We perform periodic checks to ensure your insurance and registrations remain current, protecting your reputation 365 days a year.

Independent verification for the informed client.
If you are considering a treatment or therapy with a practitioner who is not yet a VALIDOR member, the Sentinel Search provides a one-off, comprehensive clinical audit to ensure your safety and peace of mind.
What the Sentinel Search Provides:
For a fixed fee of £99, VALIDOR performs a manual, primary-source investigation into the practitioner of your choice. We move beyond self-reported claims to provide you with a factual Verification Report covering:
-
Credential Authentication: Direct confirmation of academic and clinical qualifications with the awarding institutions.
-
Regulatory Status: A live check of their standing with statutory bodies (e.g., HCPC, GMC, NMC, GDC) to ensure their license is active and unrestricted.
-
Indemnity Verification: Direct communication with insurance brokers to confirm that the practitioner holds active professional liability cover appropriate for your specific treatment.
-
Scope of Practice: An objective assessment of whether the practitioner's training aligns with the services they are offering.
How it Works:
-
Submission: You provide the name and clinic details of the practitioner you wish to verify.
-
Investigation: Our auditors initiate a manual search, contacting primary sources to validate all professional claims.
-
Reporting: Within 5–7 working days, you receive a formal VALIDOR Sentinel Report detailing the findings.
The Result:
The Sentinel Search removes the ambiguity of private healthcare. It provides you with the evidence-based clarity needed to make a safer, more confident choice before committing to a procedure or therapy.
