Safer Recruitment And Selection
The school pays full regard to the DfE statutory guidance ‘Keeping Children Safe in Education’. The Governing Body will prevent people who pose a risk of harm from working with children by adhering to statutory responsibilities to carry out appropriate checks on staff or others who work unsupervised with children, taking proportionate decisions on whether to ask for any checks beyond what is required; and ensuring those without full checks are appropriately supervised. In line with the School Staffing (England) Regulations 2009 the Governing Body ensure that at least one person on any appointment panel has attended safer recruitment training.
