This document provides detailed information on best practice in preemployment screening, a fundamentally important element of any personnel security regime. It brings together a range of advice and guidance from government departments and other relevant organisations as a ‘one-stop’ reference handbook focussing on:
* verifying identity
* verifying the right to work in the United Kingdom (UK)
* confirming employment history and qualifications
* verifying criminal record
While we aim to be as comprehensive as possible, this guidance is not exhaustive and organisations should seek professional advice where necessary. We have provided contact information for bodies that may be able to provide further assistance.
Who this guidance is for
This publication has been written for organisations that own or operate assets, services and systems which form part of the UK Critical National Infrastructure (CNI). More specifically, it is intended to support the individuals within those organisations who work in Human Resources and Security departments and therefore have responsibility for pre-employment screening.
CSIRTUK is a member of the Forum of Incident Response and Security Teams (FIRST) and has contacts with other international Incident Response Teams (IRTs) in order to foster cooperation and coordination in incident prevention, to prompt rapid reaction to incidents, and to promote information sharing amongst its members and the community at large.
