People with a past

Note that candidates do not necessarily have to tell you about a criminal record in an interview and failure to do so is not usually a proper ground for subsequently dismissing someone.

The following must tell you of any criminal record, even if it is deemed 'spent': doctors, nurses, midwives, dentists, barristers, solicitors, accountants, teachers or any positions dealing with the care or supervision of minors.

Final selection

Only hire someone who completely fits the role you defined. While you need to get on with them, they should complement, not mimic, you and your team. Good luck.
