During an inspection looking at part of the service
We did not speak to patients about the recruitment and selection of staff at the practice. We did however; speak with one of the dental nurses and the principal dentist who showed us the staff records. We found the service carried out appropriate checks on staff to ensure they were suitable to work with vulnerable adults and children. The practice had appropriate recruitment and selection processes in place.
We saw the practice had policies and procedures in place on recruitment and the selection of staff. This that complied with employment law, equality and human rights. Staff files contained the information required by regulation and schedule.
