Requirements for an Enhanced DBS and reference checks will be undertaken in line with government regulations and safer recruitment best practices. While we strive to keep the recruitment process as short as possible, these checks may extend the processing time. All young people are entitled to have their needs met fairly and without bias. Cambian Group employees are responsible for promoting equality and challenging discrimination based on race, religion, disability, age, gender, sexual orientation, or any other perceived difference.
We will conduct online searches of shortlisted candidates as part of safeguarding checks. This process is to determine suitability to work with children. To avoid unconscious bias, the search will be conducted by someone not on the appointment panel and only shared if relevant and concerning findings are identified.
