A police check, also known as a criminal history check, is a process where an individual’s criminal record is examined. It involves checking databases maintained by law enforcement agencies to verify if the person has any prior convictions, charges, or other relevant criminal history. Employers, organisations, or government agencies often request police checks during recruitment or when working with vulnerable populations.
The purpose is to assess an individual’s suitability for a specific role or responsibility; however, care must be taken to ensure that any assessment is relevant to the inherent requirements of a position.
