Welcome to the SSS Compliance Passport REGISTER
The SSS Compliance Passport provides essential evidence for all roles, trades, and levels of professionalism, ensuring compliance with Building, CDM, and procurement regulations. It verifies authorisation, creating an auditable trail for regulators, procurement teams, and safety officers, ensuring competence across every level of your workforce.
Whether you are a company with employees, or an apprentice, professional, tradesperson, or self-employed individual across any industry sector, if you are required to demonstrate the necessary skills, knowledge, experience, and behaviours in alignment with the Procurement Act 2025, then the SSSCP is for you, providing the evidence needed to meet compliance, ensure accountability, and uphold industry standards at every level.
Financial Costs: Ineffective planning, decision-making, and execution result in project overruns, delays, and inefficiencies. These issues not only burden businesses but also strain public finances, diverting essential funds away from critical services and infrastructure improvements.
Environmental Costs: Rework and material wastage increase carbon emissions and landfill contributions, directly undermining sustainability efforts. Poor building performance raises energy consumption, making it harder to achieve the UK’s net-zero carbon targets by 2050.
Societal Costs: Delays in delivering essential projects such as hospitals, schools, and housing impact communities profoundly. Poor safety standards also heighten risks, leading to accidents, injuries, and long-term health issues.
Challenges in Achieving Net Zero: The sector is integral to meeting the UK’s environmental commitments, yet inefficiencies and a lack of accountability hinder progress. Achieving net zero requires not just technological innovation but a cultural shift towards competency and sustainable practices.
Consequences of Missing Net Zero Targets: Failure to meet these targets could have severe consequences on a global and national scale. Increased climate change impacts, such as extreme weather events and biodiversity loss, would exacerbate social and economic instability. The UK could also face diminished credibility in international environmental leadership, affecting trade, investment, and global partnerships.
The SSS Compliance Passport directly addresses these challenges, empowering organisations to verify competency, enforce accountability, and align practices with safety, security, and sustainability principles. By ensuring clarity and responsibility throughout decision-making processes, the SSSCP provides a robust foundation for a sector that meets its commitments to society, the environment, and future generations.
What the Hackitt Report recommended
The Hackitt Report identifies systemic failures in the construction and built environment sector and calls for a fundamental cultural shift. It demands clear accountability, robust competency frameworks, and a focus on safety, with societal impact at the forefront. The report emphasises the need for transparent decision-making and collaboration at every level to prevent future tragedies. It challenges organisations to take responsibility for their decisions, ensuring safety and quality are prioritised over cost-cutting or complacency. Dame Hackitt repeatedly stresses that achieving these changes requires shared accountability across all stakeholders—no single role or tier can operate in isolation.
Government policies
The UK Government has placed sustainability and safety at the centre of its construction policies, especially through its net-zero carbon targets by 2050. It expects the industry to align with these goals by adopting innovative, sustainable, and safe practices. Central to this vision is the idea of proactive responsibility—ensuring the right individuals and organisations make the right decisions at the right time. Competency and compliance are essential for success, particularly in reducing the cost of rework caused by incompetency. The government also stresses the importance of empowering organisations to act as leaders in their own right, driving the industry towards better outcomes for society and the environment.
Collaboration as the Cornerstone of Progress
The SSS Compliance Passport (SSSCP) supports the Hackitt Report’s recommendations by promoting accountability and providing transparent evidence of Skills, Knowledge, Experience, and Behaviours (SKEB). It ensures shared responsibility and verification at every level. SSSCP aligns with the UK Government’s net-zero carbon policies by reducing inefficiencies like rework caused by incompetency, which contributes to waste. By giving decision-makers the tools to verify and authorise individuals, it helps streamline project delivery, reduce wastage, and promote sustainability. In line with the Procurement Act 2023, SSSCP improves procurement by reducing assumptions, enabling informed decisions, and ensuring individuals meet required standards, improving value and risk management. The system provides clear evidence of validated registers and schemes. TRACK-IT, synced with Profile Checker, does the same for projects both nationally and globally, adopting the golden thread principles to create an auditable, accountable trail.
As individuals gain new skills and experience, the passport is updated in real-time. This provides the responsible person with accurate, current data to make an informed, educated judgment about authorising individuals for specific roles. By ensuring that only those with the necessary qualifications, skills, and experience are considered, the SSSCP supports a robust and transparent authorisation process, enabling critical roles to be filled by competent professionals.

The UK construction and built environment sector faces significant inefficiencies, with £105 billion wasted on rework and delays over the past five years. Without change, this loss will continue—resources that could transform housing, schools, and hospitals. Persistent assumptions and tick-box approaches have allowed these inefficiencies to thrive. To address this, we need a robust process that provides timestamped, validated authorisation, accountability, and responsibility—key to reducing rework and inefficiencies across the industry.
This is a pivotal moment for leadership to drive change and empower accountability at every level. The SSS Compliance Passport introduces a transformative, live framework to showcase skills, knowledge, experience, and behaviours. By supporting responsible decision-making and evidencing every action, it provides the tools to meet the highest standards of safety, efficiency, and trust. As Dame Judith Hackitt urged, “Don’t wait for legislation—act now.”
By adopting the SSS Compliance Passport, we can reduce waste, improve accountability, and foster trust. The time to act is now—together, we can create a safer, more sustainable, and responsible future for the industry.
It is important for apprentices to have an SSSCP and be on our register because it ensures they are aware of their legal responsibilities and accountable for their competence from the very start of their careers. By being part of the SSSCP, apprentices are not only made aware of safety, compliance, and professional standards but also the gold standard they should aim to achieve. Our focus is on raising awareness about these responsibilities, fostering positive behaviours and best practices, and encouraging accountability as they progress through their careers in the built environment.
An individual with a provisional passport in the built environment is someone employed within the industry who does not yet hold formal qualifications and is not enrolled as an apprentice. This passport type acknowledges their current employment status while indicating that they may or may not be in the process of working towards achieving the necessary skills or qualifications. It serves as a marker of their progress while highlighting their accountability for meeting future standards, including the gold standard they should aim to achieve within the industry.
A full passport is designated for an individual who has achieved the necessary qualifications within their field. This passport confirms that the individual meets industry standards and possesses the required skills, knowledge, and experience to perform their duties in the built environment. It also demonstrates that they are accountable for maintaining these standards, with an understanding of their legal responsibilities and the gold standard they should continue to uphold throughout their career.
This type of passport is for an individual who holds the necessary qualifications to serve in a professional or managerial role.
