Safeguarding

The safety and wellbeing of our schools' pupils are of paramount importance to us and we vet our staff accordingly. We follow the DfE's 'Safer Recruitment Guidance 2007' but do further checks to ensure all of our staff are suitable to work in a school setting.

Do not take for granted that all agencies do the same level of checks.

The 2 policies that we excel with that not all agencies adhere to are:

• Full photographic checks emailed to a school before the teacher arrives
• Staff must have a full valid CRB processed in the past 3 years

Some agencies use the term 'CRB in process' which in our opinion, far from guarantees the candidate's criminal record has no convictions.

Here is a list of checks that we carry out prior to our staff working in a school:

• Full CRB processed in the past 3 years
• List 99
• Identity
• Eligibility to work in the UK
• Valid UK National Insurance
• Proof of address
• Minimum of 2 recent references to a satisfactory standard
• Employment history

All of the above, as well as a photographic check processed by one of our consultants is guaranteed to be with a school before our member of staff arrives at the school, no matter how late notice.
