answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 29/01/2018 answer text <p>It is the responsibility of the COMPASS providers to undertake the appropriate pre-employment checks and risk assessments in accordance with their legal and contractual obligations (as set out in Section 1.2 of the Statement of Requirements and Schedule 9 of the Terms and Conditions). It is not possible to list a specific set of roles requiring criminal records checks as job roles will vary from one provider to another, however all roles which include contact with service users will be subject to an appropriate level of check depending on the specifics of the role</p><p>Criminal record checks are obtained through the Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS). The DBS publishes details and guidance for employers on eligibility and levels of clearance required for roles that may be deemed as sensitive as a result of working with children and adults.
