Staff Recruitment File Checklist

What the checklist means to you?

All services within Health and Social Care must ensure that “fit and proper persons” are employed within their service in order to safeguard the people who are receiving care and support. This staff recruitment file checklist supports you with this process and ensures that within each of your staff files the correct documentation is evidenced from initial employment and beyond.

The checklist will also allow you to organise your staff files into a clear structure and be confident that you have performed all the necessary checks required by the regulator.

Meeting Regulation 19 of the Health and Social Care Act

This part of the Health and Social Care Act requires you to ensure that there are “Fit and Proper Persons Employed” within your service. Recruitment checks must take place to ensure that the person is of good character, and have the necessary qualifications, skills and competence to undertake the role they are being employed for.
