The Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) is holding a consultation about safer recruitment practices, references and conduct information within the social care and health sector.
The online consultation together with workshops will then inform the development of a number of resources - all of which aim to assist social care and health employers where references and evidence of conduct are involved.
Survey: as part of this consultation, DBS is asking organisations within the social care and health sector to take part in a short survey, which focuses on how they currently obtain and provide references, their understanding of references and the part they play within recruitment, and what they would like to gain from this consultation. This survey can be found here.
