Participation of children, young people, and adults at risk
Children, young people and adults at risk can make a valuable contribution to the recruitment process and their participation should be considered for key strategic and managerial posts as well as for posts where staff will have a high level of responsibility for personal care e.g. residential staff.
The following considerations should be taken into account in planning the involvement of children, young people and adults at risk:
- Clarification of the role they will take in the process, how their views will be taken into account in selection and what weighting these will be given;
- Preparation and/or training for the role they will be taking;
- Process for debriefing them on the outcome.
