It is acknowledged that two past employer references were available in respect of one adult, however, these references had not been validated by the registered provider prior to the adult commencing employment in the service. The adult commenced employment on 25 September 2023 and documentary evidence demonstrated that the references had been validated on 26 September 2023

Provider's corrective action:

This reference was taken prior to commencement, but the general manager wrote the wrong date on the validation sticker. However, we have updated our staff profile checklist and highlighted the need for references to be taken before the staff member starts. Before a new staff member begins with us, we must complete the staff profile checklists, and they will be checked by the general and operational manager to ensure they are completed in full prior to the new staff member start date
