Selection testing

What you need to know

 

Can I use selection tests?

Only use tests which:

 

  • provide relevant, reliable and valid assessments of the applicants’ abilities to perform the duties of the job
  • are reviewed periodically to ensure that their relevance, reliability and validity are maintained
  • which have been assessed as having no discriminatory impact on any of the statutory equality grounds


Ensure that all personnel who are involved in the administration of tests have received appropriate equal opportunities training.

How should I make reasonable adjustments for disabled applicants?
