From Selection to Elected Office

When a candidate's past becomes a public problem, it is already too late.

A candidate's social media record is public, permanent, and increasingly damaging when it surfaces after selection. Integri provides systematic vetting before that happens — plus governance onboarding and ongoing compliance monitoring for elected officials and party groups in England and Wales.

What We Do

Integrated Governance Infrastructure

Governance support for elected officials has historically been fragmented — governance training from one source, reactive advice from another, communications support from a third, and a monitoring officer stretched across all of it. Integri brings these into a single, integrated operational framework designed specifically for the standards and reputational-risk challenges of modern political communication.

Product 01

Verify

In-depth social media and online risk assessment, conducted as part of structured governance and compliance due diligence prior to selection or appointment. Commissioned reports reviewing publicly accessible digital content against the Nolan Principles, the LGA Model Code, and Integri's proprietary risk framework.

Governance begins before appointment.

Most governance failures are caused by content that existed before polling day. Integri finds it before the selection decision is made — not after the damage is done.

The Evidence

The content was already there. The process to find it wasn't.

Approaching 100 councillors have resigned or been dismissed across the May 2025 and May 2026 election cycles. In every documented social media case, the content that caused the failure was publicly accessible before polling day — and falls within Integri's Verify assessment scope.

Legislative context

In November 2025, the UK Government confirmed legislation for whole-system reform of the local government standards regime, including a mandatory national code of conduct for all approximately 120,000 councillors in England, mandatory standards committees at all principal authorities, and new suspension powers. Integri has been built in direct response to this governance environment.

Infrastructure that makes existing governance roles more effective.

Integri does not replace monitoring officers, democratic services teams, or party training units. It provides the operational layer those functions currently lack — documented, auditable, and consistent across your entire governance workflow.
