Programme description

Safer Recruitment is a statutory duty for all schools to undertake when recruiting new members of staff. It is in place to ensure the welfare of the children and should be a continual process of improvement.

Its function is to ensure that anyone who works with children is not a risk and that those who are barred from working with children are deterred from applying or rejected from the process.

The module is broken down into three units:

Unit 1 - Setting the scene

Unit 2 - The recruitment process

Unit 3 - Maintaining a safer culture
