Through the Audit Committee Lens – Fit and Proper Persons Test


On 2nd August 2023, NHS England published the Fit and Proper Person Test Framework for board members.

The Framework has been developed in response to the recommendations of the Kark Review (2019) outlining requirements for recording Fit and Proper Person Test (FPPT) details on NHS Electronic Staff Record (ESR), mandatory reference requirements and extending coverage to commissioners (including ICBs) and other appropriate arm’s length bodies.

The Framework is effective from 30th September 2023, and all NHS boards should ensure the implementation of the Framework’s requirements from that date (historic data collection is not required, but NHS organisations should apply the Framework for new board-level appointments, promotions and for annual assessments in the future).
This Insight provides information to support audit committees in reviewing their organisation’s approach to the FPPT.

This checklist is designed to provide assurance on an NHS organisation’s preparedness to adopt the Framework from the 30th September and provide assurance of ongoing compliance following implementation of revised arrangements.
