UK Independent Schools

Screen every school fee payer — not just the pupil

Parents, guardians, sponsors, agents, and corporate payers can all trigger sanctions exposure. SecurePoint Education screens fee payers against the UK Sanctions List alongside UN, EU, and US lists.

Who to Screen

Every party in the school fee payment chain

Financial sanctions compliance follows the payer relationship — screen individuals and organisations before fees are accepted or renewed.

Parents & legal guardians

The primary fee payer in most independent and boarding schools. Capture and screen at enrollment and when payment arrangements change.

Corporate & trust fee payers

Family companies, trusts, and foundations paying school fees are screened as organisations with linked contacts.

Scholarship sponsors

Individuals or organisations funding a pupil's education should be screened against sanctions and watchlists.

Agents & introducers

Third parties arranging payments or placements should be screened alongside the ultimate fee payer.

International wire originators

Cross-border fee payments may originate from accounts not held by the enrolled pupil. Screen the account holder.

Re-enrollment & term changes

Re-screen when fee payers change, new sponsors are added, or pupils re-enroll for a new academic year.
