How does Curam approve and vet its carers? / Do you carry out background checks?

Similar to any standard agency, our Carer Support Team background check and interview all of our carers.  

This includes Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) checks in England & Wales, Disclosure Scotland and NI Access in Northern Ireland. We also check identity documents, rights to work in the UK, tax and employment status and, if relevant, driving license and relevant qualifications.  

We also insist on two independent referees (at least one of them a UK resident) who are willing to vouch for the carer. Our carers will soon be individually reviewed by their previous clients on the platform.
