CASE STUDY 1
Case A has a conviction for downloading illegal pornography and disclosed this on their application. They are a well qualified candidate with the right experience.
KKG Consulting prepared a risk assessment that helped the employer have confidence that Case A did not present a risk to customers and other staff members.
The recruitment panel were able to make their decision with more confidence and in the knowledge they had been diligent in considering wider legal and employer responsibilities.
CASE STUDY 2
Case B has a conviction for a contact sexual offence but has not been in any trouble for many years. They are applying for a job and disclosed their conviction on the application and said they would provide more information about the offence at the interview.
KKG Consulting provided Case B with a risk assessment they could take to the interview.
The risk assessment helped the employer contextualise the offence and understand that Case B did not pose a risk to their staff or customers. Case B was successful in securing a position.
In the feedback to us case B was grateful for our help. They explained that the assessment helped give credibility to their explanation and gave them the confidence to be open and honest with the employer about a difficult subject.
CASE STUDY 3
Case C was convicted for possession of child pornography. They were employed by company X when the offence was committed.
The offence did not take place on work premises or using work equipment. Case C has no previous convictions and was sentenced to a non-custodial sentence.
The HR department needed to consider the suitability of their continued employment at company X.
KKG Consulting provided company X with a risk assessment and risk management plan.
Company X did not want to get rid of Case C, they were a long standing, senior employee and a valuable asset to the company.
Our expert assessment identified the parameters of the risk they posed and identified strategies that could manage any risk at work. Senior executives were able to make a defensible decision to keep Case C because of the assessment from KKG Consulting.
CASE STUDY 4
Case D was convicted of a serious violent offence. They had a history of aggressive behaviour and were known as ‘a bit of a hot head’ by other employees but a hard working and contentious employee.
Such was the severity of the offence, Case D was sent to prison. They contacted the employer from prison and asked if they could return to work. Before considering their request to return, Case D’s employer asked for an assessment from KKG Consulting.
Our assessment set out what risk Case D posed to other staff and in what circumstances this risk would be most apparent. We identified the protective factors and concerning behaviours and were able to provide a plan to manage the risk when Case D returned to work.
Our assessment provided the employer with a far richer understanding of Case D’s behaviour and helped the employer feel confident that they were making a defensible decision keeping Case D on.
