Vetting of the operator and its suppliers

We undertake checks on individuals whose conduct could impact on the running or reputation of the National Lottery. Similarly, we also undertake checks on companies if their conduct could affect the National Lottery. We call these checks ‘fit and proper vetting.’

If we find that any individual does not meet the necessary standards, they may not be employed in a vetted role.

The Commission undertakes vetting of the operator and in particular:

• Camelot’s Directors;
• Camelot’s Shareholders;
• Certain Camelot employees; and
• Key contractors and third party suppliers.

People or companies being vetted are required to complete an individual or corporate declaration and a Disclosure Application form for Disclosure Scotland. We will then make enquiries with a range of agencies in the United Kingdom and, where appropriate, overseas, to verify the information given.
