Summary
An independent review of how effectively the test prevents unsuitable staff from being redeployed or re-employed in health and social care settings.
Content
The review was led by Tom Kark QC.
It sets out 7 recommendations, including:
- developing competencies for directors
- making a central database of directors’ qualifications, training and appraisals
- expanding the definition of serious misconduct.
The current fit and proper persons test is designed to ensure that senior staff who are responsible for quality and safety of care are fit and proper to be in their roles.
The test applies to directors in the NHS, the independent healthcare sector and the adult social care sector.
