Ban Checks
A ban check looks for a worker on official ban and disqualification registers — lists of people who have been barred from working in a sector, such as people banned from aged care. Where a credential confirms that someone is cleared, a ban check does the opposite: it makes sure they're not on a list that should stop them working.
Verifiable ban checks
Ban checks are verifiable — Oho matches the worker against the relevant register and records what it finds. If someone is newly added to a ban register, that shows up as a problem on their profile, so a worker who was fine yesterday doesn't quietly slip through today.
What you'll see
The result is shown the same way as a credential — one of a few outcomes, with a colour so it's easy to scan:
| Outcome | Colour | What it means |
|---|---|---|
| MAY_ENGAGE | Green | No match — the worker isn't on a ban register. |
| MAY_NOT_ENGAGE | Red | A match — the worker appears on a ban register. |
| REVIEW_REQUIRED | Yellow | A possible match worth confirming it's the same person before relying on it. |
Because a match is based on a person's details, a possible match is flagged for someone to confirm it's really the same person before any action is taken. Oho re-checks on the schedule you set up in the Verification Sources tab and keeps a history of every check on the worker's profile.
