Hello all - I do wonder if this is overkill - to present yourself / passport on Skype AND then to courier passport to the university prior to an event. I assume the university would then reimburse the candidate, for expenses incurred here. I, personally, would have concerns about posting my passport into a university administration system, given the inconvenience / time away from passport / risk of of loss. What if a university loses a passport? What is the extent of its liability in cover expenses incurred in replacing that passport? Agree for the need for this sort of checks. Agree that Skype is a good way forward. Physically seeing the passport is unnecessary when extensive authenticity checks can be done with scans showing photo and number. I (and I am sure, others) would be dissuaded from applying for roles that required a physical (hard) passport check prior to an event. If this is the case, even with simple laws of supply and demand - this would make it more difficult / more expensive for universities to recruit for events.

The only real difference is that rather than a scanned copy, our Powers That Be determined that we needed to see the actual passport itself. We have the potential appointee courier the passport to us prior to the Skype call and then they can either collect on the day of their visit, or we will courier it back to them. Of course if they live close enough, they can come and see us in person which negates the necessity of the Skype interview. > > Hope this helps! > > Scott > > > <image002.png> > SCOTT WILKIE > Programme Assistant / School of Computing, Science and Engineering > Address: School Office, Newton Building, University of Salford, Manchester M5 4WT > T: +44(0) 0161 295 7341 / > [log in to unmask] <mailto:[log in to unmask]> / www.salford.ac.uk <http://www.salford.ac.uk/> > > > > From: External examiners discussion forum [mailto:[log in to unmask] <mailto:[log in to unmask]>] On Behalf Of Katie Akerman > Sent: 15 May 2018 09:04 > To: [log in to unmask] <mailto:[log in to unmask]> > Subject: 'Right to work' checks? > > Dear all, > > In conjunction with HR we are reviewing our processes for checking ‘right to work’ – at present we ask examiners to bring their passports the first time they visit us, which might be the Board itself or earlier to meet with colleagues from the academic department they are working with. We understand that we should be collecting ‘right to work’ information as soon as the appointment is concerned and we think we need to arrange a Skype or equivalent call with the examiner to see them with their passport and then have a scan sent to us to sign to say we have seen the original. Is this roughly in keeping with that others are doing or have experienced, please? > > Thank you so much! > Katie > > > > _____________________________________________________ > KATIE AKERMAN MA (Exon) PgCert Dip.Q FAUA PFHEA FRSA > DIRECTOR OF QUALITY & STANDARDS > UNIVERSITY OF CHICHESTER > COLLEGE LANE > CHICHESTER PO19 6PE > > Tel: +44 (0)1243 816469 > Mobile: +44 (0)7876 870719 > Email: [log in to unmask] <mailto:[log in to unmask]> > > <image003.png> > > > > > > This e-mail and any attachments are intended for the addressee only and may be confidential.
