Updates to NHS employment checks resources
As part of an annual review, NHS Employers has updated its employment checks document cross reference tool, employment checks standards pages, e-learning modules and frequently asked questions (FAQ) page.
The document cross reference tool helps employers to identify the different manual and digital documents that can be used for identity checking, proof of right to work, and in DBS check applications. The resource has been amended to reflect recent changes to immigration policy and to DBS identity checking guidelines.
Additionally, we have refreshed the NHS employment checks standards and FAQ page. Specific alterations to the content have been minimal and where the guidance has remained unchanged we have ensured that weblinks and typos have been checked, updated or corrected, where applicable. A list of amendments can be found in the summary updates section at the end of each standard.
The same updates have been made to the corresponding e-learning training modules (which are now also available to access by non-NHS organisations on the eIntegrity website).
If you have any queries please contact the team.
