Verifying a CACHE Qualification

Before taking on new staff, it is vital to ensure they are who they say they are. By requesting a  Proof of Qualification we can confirm whether the certificates and claims of achievement of the applicant are genuine. Please note that from 1st September 2012, a fee of £30 will be applicable for this service. If you are a CACHE Centre, please refer to our Fees List for further information,  If a potential employee requires a replacement certificate they are required to send this form and the appropriate payment.

 

 

Ask to see originals of two of the following:

 

•  Passport
•  Driving License
•  Birth Certificate

 

Ask for at least two, one of which should be the previous or present employer.

 

 

Ask for a full history, and probe any gaps. Look for evasive answers that may indicate a criminal record, or a medical condition that makes them unsuitable for supervising children.

 

Potential employers may request a Criminal Record Bureau (CRB) check, but this is not a CACHE requirement. The level of this disclosure is determined by the amount of contact that the candidate will have with children in the job.

 

Since 3rd October 2005 the registered provider is responsible for having suitable vetting processes in place to safeguard children in their care.
