Safer recruitment
You decided to tell your manager that Mary’s PVG is not here yet but you have put steps in place (not working alone) which allow her to work.
Two weeks later, you meet Alex, one of the residents, in the lounge while you are walking around the building. Play the video to hear what Alex has to say about Mary then decide what you should do next. Please choose one of the three options below.
What's your next step?
Option 1: You allow Mary to continue working with a buddy while you investigate the complaint and wait for the PVG record.
Option 2: You suspend Mary pending an investigation to determine her suitability for the post.
Option 3: You speak to Mary and are happy that there is nothing to investigate so take no further action.
