When this review helps

Useful when you need to check whether staff files show that recruitment checks and ongoing support have been completed. It can also help identify overdue training, supervision or staff-file actions.

The agreed sample

What we can check

We agree the records, people and time period before work starts. The checks below help shape your review; they are not an unlimited review of every record.

Recruitment checks

Review the selected files for recruitment records, Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) checks, right-to-work checks and references.

Training and assessed skills

Look at induction and training records alongside evidence that staff skills have been assessed.

Supervision and appraisal

Check the records of staff support and whether outstanding staff-file actions have been completed.

Data protection, where agreed

Review the data-protection records and checks specifically included in the written quote.

After the review

Before we start

We agree the sample, delivery method, timetable and fee in writing. Any correction support, re-audit or ongoing monitoring is clearly listed, with its own limits.

Important to know

The guide range covers the agreed workforce and focused data-protection checks, not an unlimited review of every staff file.
