Before a hiring decision is made, a check of suspicion and criminal records will be conducted regarding all applicants who may work in psychiatric care, habilitation, care of children and youth, or involuntary care of substance abusers, areas that are subject to optional record extracts. This applies to anyone who will work closely with patients, even if the tasks are not currently intended to primarily involve work with the aforementioned patient groups.
