More than ever, the skills we need to build our state are learned at TAFE.

Important Verification Checks To Protect Your Company Against Liability

Various verification checks can be utilised to help mitigate risks, firstly at the point of recruitment / engagement of personnel/contractors, and secondly on an ongoing basis.

These can include:

National Police Checks – this can prevent engaging personnel with known criminal backgrounds who may have a higher chance of creating risk for the company.
Background checks – these verify a person’s employment and/or qualification background is as they say it is on their resume.
Bankruptcy checks – may be important for contractors.
Driver License status checks – initial and ongoing checks can mitigate the risk of consequences as referenced above, with unlicensed drivers.
