Presenter - Allen Chapman, Total CRB

Topic - Disclosure & Barring Service Helping You Make Safer Recruitment Choices

The DBS employee check superseded the old CRB Check back in 2012.

The Disclosure & Barring Service (CRB) was originally set up to prevent unsuitable people from working with vulnerable groups, including children.

With the launch of the Basic DBS check in January 2018 it is now possible to do a check on any individual in any industry; rather than just those working with vulnerable groups.

The DBS check should be a factor when you are choosing who you bring into your company, for example, are the people you are considering people you can trust beyond the fact they can do the job you are hiring them to do?

The DBS Check can provide your current and future clients with the confidence that they are not putting their business, stakeholders, or possessions at any unnecessary risk by bringing your company into their organisation or home.

DBS checks can also provide you with an advantage over your competition who have not taken due diligence in having had DBS checks done on their employees.

December: Wednesday 5th, Holiday Inn, London Elstree

Time - 10.00 am Registration and Refreshments for a 10.30 am Start

Presenter - Lucy Long & Dr Deborah Swallow

Topic - Diversity and Inclusion - What is an Employer's Duty of Care?

Arguably, a company's biggest asset is their workforce.
Mental Health and Inclusion are some of the latest issues that have been highlighted, but who can afford experts on salary for all possible scenarios?
With such a diverse population, how can WE help the business owners WE know to ensure that they fulfil their duty of care as employers without it seriously affecting their bottom line?

Lucy Long, a Healthcare specialist will be joined by International speaker, Dr Deborah Swallow, a respected author and multi-culture expert, to show how, regardless of our differences we can not only embrace inclusion in the workplace, but help employees understand how to position themselves in their best light with both their peers and their employers. Fostering good relationships in the workplace can only be beneficial to everyone.
During the interactive seminar we will discuss how we can maximise inclusion in the workplace, by understanding others culture/personality - regardless of Gender, Race, Ethnicity or Religion. By ensuring employees have a support network, it can avoid serious expense to their budgets through unnecessary or frivolous litigation/stress/illness. A happy workforce can not only let business owners sleep at night, but protect their bottom line too!

This seminar will be beneficial for:
* All business owners with staff, HR Managers and FDs looking to meet their Duty of Care cost-effectively
* Any individuals wanting to improve their relationships across different cultures.
All attendees will be given Dr Deborah Swallow's "culture guide", an invaluable tool showing the different personality traits from around the world enabling us to foster a better understanding of how to build better relationships with those from different cultures/backgrounds.
