What support workers need to work here
England has no compulsory register for care staff, so the checks we run carry the weight: right to work, an enhanced DBS check with the barred list check where the role needs it, two references and up to date mandatory training, all on file before a first shift.
Who inspects services in England
Care and health services in Canterbury are inspected by the Care Quality Commission (CQC). Each placement comes with the compliance file a provider needs to show its staffing checks at inspection.
