Wednesday, 21 October 2020
09:30 - 12:30
Safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children starts with ensuring that staff and volunteers in education settings are selected and vetted in line with statutory requirements intended to robustly assess their suitability to work with children and young people.

This workshop is aimed at all those with a responsibility for
recruitment, including those who may be shortlisting and interviewing staff as
well as those responsible for undertaking vetting checks. Whilst the focus is
predominantly on safer recruitment, we also consider the employment law context
and best practice principles in selection and appointment to ensure a broader
understanding of the risks associated with getting the process wrong. Although
there is certain minimum content to be covered, there is an opportunity to
focus in on particular areas of the process according to delegates’ roles.
Undertaking this training meets the requirements of the School Staffing
(England) Regulations 2009 for at least one panel member who conducts an
interview in a maintained school to have undertaken safer recruitment
training.
Learning outcomes
Delegates will have the opportunity to increase their understanding in relation to the following areas, in order to be better equipped to participate in the process of recruitment in the context of safer recruitment, employment law and best practice principles:
- Legal context
- Recruitment and selection process and planning
- Shortlisting and employment references
- Interviewing and decision making
