Employment screening guidance for the water industry

This guidance document provides advice and support to companies to ensure that the staff they employ are properly screened and vetted to continue the holistic water sector ethos into the realm of people.

This document is produced in response to the Defra document ‘Security of Network and Information Systems’ therefore covers English water companies. Water companies in Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland may also find this guidance useful but consideration will need to be given to the specific legislation in these devolved administrations.

Please note that this document is managed by the Water UK policy team, and not the Water UK Standards Board.
