Retrospective Checking • A retrospective check is a PVG check on someone who has been undertaking regulated work with you since before the implementation of PVG. • The retrospective checking phase lasts until October 2015 • Its your decision when to undertake a retrospective check. • If you have not completed your retrospective checking by October 2015 you may have committed an offence. • It is an offence for an organisation to employ someone who is barred from undertaking regulated work.

  5. What if a retrospective check comes back as barred? • What if a retrospective check comes back as under consideration for listing? • What if the retrospective check doesn’t bar them but the released information is serious enough for you to question their suitability? • CAN WE USE A SELF DECLARATION? • WHEN? • WHY? • Can be used for both retrospective and new applications
