Employment Screening Processes

Scope

To produce a criminal record screening process that helps protect this WA State Government Agency, its clients and the community by ensuring that they do not employ people whose criminal record indicates that they may pose a risk.


Challenges

The challenges for the project were:

  • Analysis the existing "as is" business process and its limitations.
  • Propose options to allow the regulation to be implemented.
  • Understand the appropriate Acts, Regulation and Legislation that is applicable.

Diversus Difference

Diversus value was extremely appreciated as several issues was identified that require immediate action. A report was given to the agency for action and further analysis, this included:

  • Guidance on the implementation of the requirements for the Working with Children (Criminal Record Checking) Act 2004.
  • Identification of a large number of practices were found that either breached the current policy and procedures or placed the agency at risk of employing unsuitable applicants.
  • Refinement of the terminology for consistency and intention.
  • Improvements in the policy such as including the scope of threats in the policy statement.
