Schools and education settings share with others a duty to safeguard the children in their care. The governing body of a maintained school must ensure that, when appointing a new member of staff, at least one person on the appointment panel has completed appropriate safer recruitment training. Keeping Children Safe in Education also states it is good practice for academy school appointment panels to be appropriately trained. Additionally, the Statutory Framework for the Early Years Foundation Stage requires providers to have effective systems in place to ensure staff and others in regular contact with children are suitable.
This online 1-day Safer Recruitment Consortium accredited course gives attendees the information and understanding they need to recruit safely and comply with relevant statutory guidance.
The workshop is delivered by Yvonne Sinclair, a registered accredited trainer with Safer Recruitment Consortium
Attendees gain the skills they need to ensure that safeguarding is at the heart of their recruitment decisions. By the end of our 1-day course, participants will have:
-
Identified key features of staff recruitment that help deter or prevent the appointment of unsuitable people
-
Considered policies and practices that minimise opportunities for abuse or ensure its prompt reporting
-
Begun to review their own organisation’s policies and practices with a view to making them safe
Participants are supported through training with pre-course reading, delegate workbook and an activity book
