Common use of STAFF ASSURANCE Clause in Contracts

STAFF ASSURANCE. 5.1. The Participating Bodies and the PCN are satisfied and give assurance to each other that they have in place appropriate processes which have verified any relevant Staff Members falling under this MOU as having passed any necessary mandatory checks and training necessary for that Staff Member to practise safely in their role at their Sending Body. For Immunisers, Registered Healthcare Professionals and Healthcare Assistants this includes assurance that the Staff Member has met the NHS Employment Check Standards issued under Health Circular HSC2002/008 (as revised from time to time), at the time of recruitment and on an ongoing basis, and that has completed mandatory and other training requirements deemed sufficient by their Sending Body to work in their substantive role. For the avoidance of doubt, where those mandatory checks involve Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) checks, the Sending Body will as a minimum have carried out a “fast-track” check of the Adults’ and Children’s Barred Lists under the emergency fast-track COVID-19 arrangements put in place by the DBS, while awaiting the results of a full DBS check, and will notify the Host Practice of any Staff Member to whom only emergency Barred List checks have been completed so that the Host Practice may undertake a risk assessment and put in place appropriate monitoring and supervision arrangements in respect of such Staff Members. In such situation, each Sending Body will confirm to the Host Practice as soon as practicable after full DBS clearance of each relevant Staff Member has been received by the relevant Sending Body.
