Recommendation 1

1. To ensure people benefit from staff who are recruited safely, the provider should follow good practice guidance from the Scottish Social Services Council (SSSC) and the Care Inspectorates' Safer Recruitment Through Better Recruitment, (September 2023). This should include but not be limited to verification of all references and exploring and recording any gaps in employment.

This is to ensure that care and support is consistent with Health and Social Care Standards (HSCS) which state that: 'I am confident that people who support and care for me have been appropriately and safely recruited' (HSCS 3.14).
