How Safer Recruitment Protects People and Strengthens Your Tender
🔍 Why Safer Recruitment Matters
Safer recruitment is more than a compliance exercise — it’s a critical safeguarding measure that underpins the quality and safety of your service. Commissioners want confidence that your recruitment processes are robust, consistent, and aligned to CQC expectations. It demonstrates leadership, accountability, and risk management.
📋 What to Include in Your Response
- Detailed pre-employment checks: references, DBS, gaps in employment
- Structured interviews exploring values, safeguarding awareness, and attitudes
- Mandatory induction training linked to safeguarding and policies
- Probationary periods with clear review points and feedback processes
- How concerns are escalated and decisions documented
Your method statement should show how safer recruitment links directly to service quality, safeguarding, and reducing risk for people using your service.
💡 Examples of Good Practice
For domiciliary care, highlight how safer recruitment protects vulnerable adults in their own homes. For learning disability services, show how robust processes prevent unsuitable individuals from entering the workforce and ensure your staff reflect your values.
