Background checks on teachers / staff etc
I am just wondering if anyone knows how teachers and school staff are checked out in Doha? If a school follows the british curriculum does that mean they woild carry out similar background and criminal checks etc? I will obviously ask the schools this but wanted to get everyones view.
Thanks

My partner did comment on how 'trusting' the nursery appeared compared to the UK where a newly employed person cant be left with kids without being supervised by existing staff for several months.
Best thing to do is ask the place what they do and visit it to get a feel.
if this is true then it is terrible - lose your job elsewhere for doing something awful and then get a job somewhere else no problem. I am going to ask the schools about it but I'd be surprised if no one has raised this before...
This is actually massively worrying that they are not doing background/police checks!! I mean... its REALLY worrying, not knowing what sort of person is teaching your child. I mean you see it often in the UK, teachers who have been arrested on child pornography charges, and this is WITH the police checking!!
My boss who is english/eqyptian to get his work visa needed to show documentation of police check from UK.
My partner showed her original qualification certs to the nursery but i dont think they have asked for security check.
Well that's certainly NOT true at the Universities. All degrees are checked and a cpmplete background and security check is done (not just a police certificate.) It is very thorough and should be.

Nobody checks anything if you're not Qatari.
just search google images for a phd, photoshop it to your name, and print it on your inkjet.
No, Teachers over here are taken purely on CV and interview. There are no police checks done in most cases.
Most schools say they do checks but as Qatar has no juridisction, how can they?
As I say, they don't do checks and neither do they check qualifications (that's in certain schools).
Anybody that can prove otherwise, feel free.
