GMA106 Employee Safety Check Record

This Safety Checking form is a practical, easy-to-use template designed to help recruitment staff and centre managers confirm that all required safety checks have been completed before a children’s worker starts.

The checklist supports compliance with the Children’s Act 2014 by providing a single, structured place to record each required step — including risk assessment and final sign-off — ensuring nothing is missed during the hiring process.

What’s included:

• A checklist covering all mandatory safety checking requirements

• Sections for identity verification, police vetting, reference checks, and information verification

• A dedicated risk assessment section to support informed hiring decisions

• Confirmation and sign-off fields for managers or authorised staff

• Also includes checklist for other pre-employment paperwork such as PDs, Employment Agreements

Why this checklist is valuable:

• Helps demonstrate due diligence and compliance during audits or reviews

• Reduces risk by ensuring checks are completed before employment begins

• Supports consistent safety checking across multiple hires or centres

• Saves time with a ready-to-go template.

• Suitable for ECE services, schools, NGOs, and any organisation employing children’s workers

This checklist can be used alongside your existing policies and procedures or as part of a wider recruitment and safety checking system.
