Whether you’re recruiting staff or volunteers for a school, college, sixth form college, sports club, pupil referral unit, in residential education, an activities centre, or a centre for vulnerable adults, this Safer Recruitment course will give you the tools you need to make sure you hire the right people.

Another stop-start course
At some times can be hard to concentrate on the content as modules are quite short and disconnected. Made worse by the ever-changing cast of on screen presenters.
covers the important points
This user gave this course a rating of 5/5 stars
Could have done with a bit more detail
Thought some of the questions on the test were misleading/trying to catch you out rather than testing your knowledge
Clear and simple, easy to understand.

very good

Good course too many voices
The training was useful and concise but the use of multiple people sometimes talking about the same section was distracting and made it harder to follow.
comprehensive guide to safer recruitment
A lot of information is conveyed during the training, which could be confusing at times as some sections were long covering multiple points. Breaking these down further could probably help
Informative and specific
The training was very informative and specifically provided relevant information to keep children and adults safe, in a way that was interesting and easy to absorb.
Why is this training important?
Business benefits
While there is no direct legislation that corresponds to Safer Recruitment in Education, the Gov.uk website states that:
It is vital that schools and colleges create a culture of safe recruitment and, as part of that, adopt recruitment procedures that help deter, reject or identify people who might abuse children. Governing bodies and proprietors must act reasonably in making decisions about the suitability of the prospective employee based on checks and evidence including criminal record checks (DBS checks), barred list checks and prohibition checks together with references and interview information.
