What kind of checks will you carry out on me and my home?
Posted on: 16 July 2013
We carry out a number of checks as part of the application process. These include:
- A Disclosure and Barring Service check (DBS), on all members of your household over the age of 16
- Checks with your local authority or health trust social work service
- Checks with the education department
- Checks with the Independent Safeguarding Authority (ISA) which lists those prevented from working with children
- A standard safety check on your home
- We also request references from previous employers as well as personal references from two people who have known you for at least five years
