It is company policy to comply with BS7858 standard of screening for new starters as well as those transferring to us under TUPE, in which screening will be conducted retrospectively for a 5 year period.
In order for you to be fully aware of our screening process and allow it to be completed as soon as possible, I have taken the time to give you a breakdown of what it involves, the documents we require from you and also how it will be conducted.
Documents you will receive from Lodge Service to be completed by you.
