The challenge
Kent and Medway wanted to ensure that all staff who required a DBS check for their roles had this on file, so if they were required to undertake COVID-19 related work, they could be rapidly deployed.
Our approach
We liaised with HR Team and pulled together a project plan to review and check, around 150 employee files, identify whether a check had been undertaken in the last three years. In case of no recent check, a full DBS check was undertaken. This included requesting ID and follow-up ID check.
The outcome
We delivered a DBS refresh/recheck project for NHS Kent and Medway with a total of 90 new DBS checks undertaken and project completed by end of June 2020
“I just wanted to say a heartfelt thank you for the work that you have done on the DBS checks, you have made real progress, your efforts on this have really made a difference and this is really appreciated.
“Thanks for everything you have done to get us here.”
