A training programme for independent schools on specialist knowledge of safer recruitment, employment law, child protection and HR.
Our training covers the most important aspects of safer recruitment as they relate to independent schools and draws together specialist knowledge of safer recruitment, employment law, child protection and HR. Our aim is to support schools to achieve compliance with statutory obligations, to move towards best practice and to manage the increasing regulatory burden in this complex area.
The cost of attending a session is £250 plus VAT per person.
Safer recruitment is a central aspect of the inspection process. Successful implementation is fundamental to a positive inspection and to safeguarding the welfare of current and future pupils. There have been significant changes in the last 18 months, with a new version of Keeping Children Safe in Education (KCSIE) coming into force in September 2016. There has never been a more important time to receive up-to-date training.
Our training covers all sections of the new KCSIE and will look in detail at:
Training sessions are interactive with a strong focus on group problem sharing and practical solutions.
Whilst KCSIE confirms that there is no longer a requirement for staff involved in the recruitment process to undertake DfE accredited safer recruitment training, it is still essential to ensure that your school recruits safely in practice, and is able to evidence doing so to inspectors.
Our training will benefit all staff involved in the interview and appointment process, those who carry out pre-appointment checks, maintain the single central register or carry out the role of Designated Safeguarding Lead as well as governors and proprietors.
All attendees will be able to access the most up to date versions of the documents in our Safer Recruitment Pack prior to, and after, the training through our new online resource area Compliance OnStream. This was recently launched in response to sector demand for responsive, practical and proactive compliance services. Our documents may be found under the Safer Recruitment Library section. Registration for Compliance OnStream is free and we encourage you to sign up now so that you can access our most up to date safer recruitment documents and advice.
