Purpose and legal effect of a police vetting policy
A police vetting policy provides organizations with a consistent process for assessing whether individuals are suitable for roles that require police vetting or other background checks. It supports informed recruitment and ongoing workforce management while protecting vulnerable people and maintaining appropriate organizational standards.
The template outlines when police vetting is required, identification requirements, the vetting process, management of information, ongoing re-vetting, overseas residency checks, and procedures for responding to unsatisfactory vetting results. It also includes drafting guidance to help organizations tailor the policy to their operational requirements.
Organizations can adapt this template to establish a clear and consistent approach to police vetting while supporting appropriate recruitment and safeguarding practices.
