Available on-demand
Safer recruitment is a critical part of protecting children and young people in education. Schools and early years providers have a legal responsibility to ensure that those working with children are suitable for their roles and are recruited safely.
It is also good practice to refresh this training every two years to remain up to date with changes in legislation and learning from recent serious case reviews. Safer recruitment goes far beyond carrying out DBS checks - it is about embedding a culture of vigilance and ensuring every step of the recruitment process protects the welfare of children.
This 90-minute On-Demand Refresher Training is designed for school leaders, governors, and recruitment panel members who have completed previous training and need an update after two or more years. The session follows the latest guidance.
Delivered via a recorded video, the training is flexible, up to date, and includes time for personal reflection.
