Who does safer recruitment apply to?
None of your choices are correct. Try the exercise again.
All your choices are correct. Safer recruitment applies to all staff. Different roles will require different levels of checks. For example all the staff who undertake Regulated Activity (RA) will need an Enhanced Check against one or both of the barred lists. Those staff not in regulated activity will not require a check; however, other safer recruitment procedures will need to be followed. It is important to remember DBS checks are only one small part of a safer recruitment process.
