a criminal record screening and integrity checking, you may also be
required to undertake a working with children check (if required
for the role) and a pre-employment health assessment. We may ask
referees to comment on your integrity and past demonstration of
ethical behaviour. Please note that adverse information does not

of the appointment process.

employment being withdrawn.  Please see the attached WACHS
PEHA Policy for further information.
