Families in Bahrain seeking to hire domestic workers, whether on a full-time or hourly basis, are being urged to recruit only through licensed agencies and verify the worker’s identity before allowing them into their homes.
Speaking on the Al Aman show on social media, Hidd Police Station head Colonel Dr Osama Bahar emphasised the importance of thorough checks before hiring household help.
“Some families require the services of housekeepers on an hourly basis to assist with cleaning,” said Col Dr Bahar.
“You should ensure that you sign contracts only with workers from licensed agencies and never allow anyone into your home unless you are certain of the company they represent.”
Col Dr Bahar urged families to ensure that domestic workers undergo a medical examination and to verify their identification and credentials to confirm their authenticity. He also stressed the importance of researching the agency before engaging its services.
