How can I check that a candidate isn’t lying on his or her application form – doesn’t the Act stop me doing this?

The Act does not prevent an employer from checking whether a candidate is lying. However, the Act requires that if checks on information are to be carried out the candidate is aware of this. In some cases, for example where a school or college is to be asked to disclose information to verify a candidate’s qualifications, they may want the candidate’s permission before doing so.
