Why is this training important?
Business benefits
Background checks are how you protect your organisation. They help you make the right decision first time round, and they protect your organisation’s reputation and the working lives of your existing team.
All new team members need to be checked, including temporary workers, contractors, and even some existing colleagues who are changing roles, depending on the circumstances.
Some background checks are legally required for everyone, but others are only necessary in certain circumstances, like working with children or vulnerable adults. Some background checks may even need to be completed before the person is able to enter the workplace. Carrying out a risk assessment for a role is a great way to help you decide which checks to perform on a job-by-job basis.
Depending on the size and structure of your organisation, you may have multiple people involved in performing background checks, such as HR, your security team, or the line manager of the candidate. Ideally, at least one senior member of the team has taken ownership of this process, even if other colleagues action certain things on their behalf.
