Many organisations approach us to discuss their responsibilities in relation to the Disability Discrimination Act - (DDA). We would advise that by having a comprehensive pre-employment screening programme you should be able to address potential issues and comply with relevant legislation; we strongly advise organisations to utilise this facility.

The cost of recruitment is estimated at an average of £2000 per candidate, for 0.1% of that cost you could have expert advice on suitability, fitness and required adjustments or adaptations.

• Establish the personal, physical and psychological capability of the prospective employee to undertake the work offered – ensuring the candidate is suited to the role ?
• Identify health problems that will require on-going advice and/or management ?

Pre-recruitment health screening will require the completion of a health questionnaire by both the applicant and HR professional. As a result of scrutiny, the occupational health advisor may require further action such as:

• Pre-employment health interview
• Medical examination by appointed Physician
• Report from a General Practitioner
• Further information efficiently communicated by Human Resources
