nhs trust employment query

Posts: 6 Forumite
Im hoping someone can help me here, i know of someone who has worked for the nhs in admin type roles for 10 years, going from temporary role to temporary role within the last couple of years. They have now however secured a permanent position however it is subject to checks. This person claimed to have certain cse grades when first employed, but hasn't actually got any certificates (may i point out that their cv simply had guesstimate grades as unable to remember).
They are now afraid that if unable to produce certificates that they will be sacked and prosecuted with fraud and pursued for wages earnt over the past 10 years. Is this possible?
This person has undertaken many computer and typing courses throughout their employment and has produced all these certificates over the years.

They *could* be dismissed, such a blatant lie could be deemed gross misconduct, but I see no reason why the Trust would try to reclaim their wages.0

I imagine they'll want copies of the certificates just in case they get audited. There's a lot of bureaucracy/red tape in the nhs!
I'd say in the first instance to tell them that s/he hasn't got the certificates but will try and get copies of them. This might buy them a bit of time. Does this person think that the grades they claimed to have were vastly different to those they actually got?
I doubt they'll want to claw money back but the nhs may, if they're organised enough (!!) insist on the certificates being produced in order to procure a permanent position.0 -
This person has heard of similar things happening within the trust she works for and the nhs did press charges and pursued for wages paid!0

Aren't cse's from years ago? Surely they wont want to see them?? I work for the nhs and whilst they wanted to see my nursing certs, post grad certs, they didnt want to see my GCSE certs or any of my CPD certs relevant to the role!£2019 in 2019 #44 - 864.06/20190

It might depend whether the CSEs are the highest qualification achieved.0 -
What qualifications did she put down on the application form for the permanent post?"This is a forum - not a support group. We do not "owe" anyone unconditional acceptance of their opinions."0
