Fast Track Recruitment Process DBS/References Risk Assessment and Checklist

Starting work prior to DBS Certificate being seen and without two references being received.
This risk assessment should be completed when considering whether to allow a new member of staff to start work before a new DBS certificate has been seen by the Company and without receiving two references. This process will only be used in instances where there is severe staff shortages; therefore, every attempt possible will be made to obtain the required documents prior to the candidate starting.
