ABSICAN is required to conduct checks and certify the absence of sexual offenses on employees and volunteers performing certain functions.
The Ministry of the Presidency, Justice, and Parliamentary Relations has developed a new software application, “TeAutorizo,” which allows entities whose activities involve regular contact with minors—from daycare centers to children’s clothing stores to leisure associations, for example—to expedite the process of obtaining certificates of absence of sexual offenses for their employees.
TeAutorizo reduces the administrative burden on companies and expedites the onboarding of future employees by freeing them from the need to obtain their own certificate of absence of sexual offenses.
With TeAutorizo and the reform of Royal Decree 1110/2015, the Ministry contributes to compliance with Organic Law 8/2021 on the comprehensive protection of children and adolescents against violence.
Aarons Department is an umbrella body that provides access to DBS checks for organizations that cannot register directly with the Disclosure and Barring Service: this is only an option for organizations that process hundreds of DBS checks per year. ABSICAN uses Aarons Department to conduct a Disclosure and Barring Service Check, a criminal record check in the UK used by employers to determine whether an applicant is suitable for a position.
We will also request equivalent certification from other equivalent authorities for other nationalities.
