Our Statement of Principles
Curato is committed to fair and ethical recruitment and placement practices in connection with the recruitment and deployment of international nursing staff. This commitment is based on the principles of the “Fair Recruitment of Nurses in Germany” seal of approval and the WHO Global Code of Practice on the International Recruitment of Health Personnel.
To this end, Curato is committed to the following principles:
Fair and Ethical Practices:
We are committed to recruitment and placement practices that comply with the principles of the “Faire Anwerbung Pflege Deutschland” quality seal. To fulfill this commitment, Curato adheres to the six guiding principles of the quality seal:
1. Written Form: All essential information, agreements, and contracts are documented in writing in a clear, complete, and comprehensible manner.
2. No Fees: Nursing professionals do not incur any placement fees or other costs related to recruitment and placement (Employer-Pays Principle).
3. Limiting financial risk: Nurses will not be subject to unreasonable financial obligations or repayment obligations.
4. Transparency: Curato provides nursing professionals and business partners with transparent information about the structures, services, responsibilities, and costs of the placement process.
5. Sustainability and Participation: Curato promotes the sustainable integration of international nursing professionals and takes their interests and feedback into account in the ongoing improvement of its placement processes.
6. Overall responsibility for the entire service chain: Curato assumes responsibility for ensuring compliance with these principles throughout the entire service chain and requires its business partners to adhere to the same standards.
Compliance with International Agreements: Curato reaffirms its commitment to comply with international human rights conventions and the ILO’s core labor standards, in particular the ILO’s General Principles and Operational Guidelines on Fair Recruitment.
Curato is also committed to complying with the United Nations Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights, as well as the relevant international human rights treaties of the United Nations.
Avoiding Unacceptable Contractual Clauses: Curato undertakes not to enter into any contractual relationships that contain repayment or retention clauses that do not comply with the standards of the “Fair Recruitment in German Care” seal of approval.
WHO Global Code of Practice: Business practices are aligned with the WHO Global Code of Practice on the International Recruitment of Health Personnel.
Curato does not recruit nursing professionals from countries listed on the current WHO Health Workforce Support and Safeguards List, unless an exception provided for by the WHO applies.
No costs for specialists: No direct or associated placement costs or fees are charged to caregivers. Curato only supports placement and recruitment companies that adhere to the Employer Pays principle.
Human Rights Due Diligence and Risk Management: Curato identifies, assesses, documents, and regularly monitors human rights and labor law risks throughout the entire service chain. Identified risks are minimized through appropriate preventive and corrective measures. The effectiveness of these measures is regularly reviewed and continuously improved. Business partners are required to comply with the requirements of this policy statement as well as the principles of Fair Recruitment in German Care.
Curato assumes responsibility for compliance with these requirements throughout the entire service chain, including when business partners act on behalf of or for Curato. If violations of the “employer-pays” principle are identified and nursing professionals have incurred financial burdens as a result, Curato will ensure, in accordance with the requirements of the quality seal, that the affected payments are reimbursed immediately and that appropriate corrective measures are taken.
Compliance with the data protection guidelines: Curato Med undertakes to treat the personal data of candidates confidentially and to use it only in accordance with the provisions of this contract. Potential employers are also obliged to treat the data confidentially and are subject to the data protection guidelines of this contract.
