Learning outcomes
Participants gain the skills they need to ensure that safeguarding is at the heart of their recruitment decisions. Based on an understanding of offender behaviour by the end of our 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 and ensure its prompt reporting.
- Begun to review their own organisation's policies and practices with a view to making them safer.
Remember, it is a requirement for at least one member of a recruitment panel to be appropriately trained in Safer Recruitment. It is advised that this training course is completed every three years to maintain up-to-date knowledge of statutory updates and developments in practice.
In addition, participants will gain a clear understanding of:
- The legal framework under-pinning this area of management.
- The procedural steps and responsibilities of managers in these issues.
- Potential pitfalls and practical, appropriate solutions.
- Imaginative, proactive strategies.
In addition, there is opportunity to discuss solutions and approaches to individual school cases.
Please note:
As the course is accredited by the Safer Recruitment Consortium, it is important that you are able to fully participate across both mornings with your video camera facility turned on.
