VeriViva
Regulated retail

Colleagues ready for regulated-sale and safety-critical duties, in every store.

VeriViva verifies that store colleagues can explain and apply your procedures for age-restricted sales, product recalls and restricted or hazardous goods, and shows you where the gaps sit across roles and questions.

Question 2 of 5

An adult asks to buy a restricted item and says it is for a teenager waiting outside. What do you do?

Why this needs a reviewer

Participant added a note

What the participant said

Colleague 22 marked the highlighted words as not what they said

I'd ask what it's for. If it's for someone under age, I'd refuse the sale politely and tell my supervisor. If they're a regular I might let it go once, to be fair, and I'd make a note of it (marked as not what they said).

A good answer

  • Refuse the sale where the item is for someone under ageEssential
  • Tell the supervisor straight awayEssential

They would not

  • Sell the item because the customer is a regular
  • Take the customer's word that it is for an adult
AI suggestion
Mostly metHigh confidence

Assessed against: Refuse any sale made on behalf of someone under age; tell the supervisor

Quotes a polite refusal and tells the supervisor, which covers both essential points.

How it works here

What makes it work in this sector.

Grounded in your own procedures

Scenario questions come from your own sales, recall and storage procedures. VeriViva doesn't state legal requirements, and it doesn't source or restate regulation independently.

Built for onboarding at volume

Short vivas fit high turnover and seasonal intake, and show where new colleagues need follow-up before they work unsupervised.

Unsafe answers always reach a person

An answer that shows something a colleague would not do, such as completing a restricted sale without checking, is drafted as Not evidenced and always reaches a reviewer.

  1. 01 Ground

    Upload your sales, recall and storage procedures.

  2. 02 Verify

    Short scenario vivas, such as a refusal or a recall notice.

  3. 03 Review

    Not evidenced and Needs review answers always reach a named person.

  4. 04 Decide

    A named person records the Viva decision, and the evidence pack holds the record.

Delivery. Guided by VeriViva suits high colleague turnover and seasonal onboarding. Assessor-led sessions suit higher-stakes roles, and colleagues who can't be on camera.

For risk & compliance leads

Assurance you can evidence

Every viva has an evidence pack: the transcript, the participant's sign-off and the recording, with every decision and change in the audit trail.

Decisions and safeguards

Who decides, and how people are protected.

Decision owner

The store or area manager, or the accountable learning or compliance owner, decides, and a named person is always responsible for the overall Viva decision. VeriViva never makes or implies a decision about employment, pay or progression.

Safeguards
  • Assessed on content only, with an assessor-led alternative to the voice guide
  • Designed for shift patterns, high turnover and rapid onboarding
  • Competence assurance kept visibly separate from performance management
  • Colleagues are told what is recorded and why, and consent before they start
  • Role-based access to evidence, with an audit trail of decisions and changes
Questions

Frequently asked

How does it help with onboarding?

Short scenario vivas show where new colleagues need follow-up on age-restricted sales, recalls and restricted goods before they work unsupervised.

Does VeriViva decide whether a colleague is ready?

No. A named store or area manager, or your learning or compliance owner, is responsible for the overall Viva decision. VeriViva never makes or implies a decision about employment, pay or progression.

What happens if someone gives an unsafe answer?

It is drafted as Not evidenced and always reaches a reviewer, before a Viva decision is recorded.

Where do the questions come from?

From the procedures you upload, such as your age-restricted sales, recall and storage documents. VeriViva doesn't state legal requirements or restate regulation independently.

Five things a strong safety answer has to show

A correct answer isn't enough on its own. It has to be in the right order, specific to the site, and clear about where the person's own authority ends.
