Selecting Candidates

Vetting/Selection panels

Although each party has a very different process for vetting and selecting candidates, one common part is potential candidates being interviewed by a selection panel. It is important to think about equality and diversity when preparing for and doing a selection interview. You should have an accessibility policy to ensure your selection process is inclusive.

Make sure that information given to selection panels about how to conduct the interview includes guidance about diversity and recognising and overcoming unconscious bias. You could consider running equalities training for people who are involved in selection. Also think about the diversity of the panel and always have two or more people responsible for choosing who is successful. Go back to the Selecting Candidates homepage
