This nationally accredited full day ‘Safer
recruitment’ training is suitable for governors and staff of schools/academies
involved in the recruitment process. This course is applicable for those who
have had no previous training or those that attended ‘Safer recruitment’
training more than 4 years’ ago and therefore need to refresh their
accreditation. (Please check if you are unsure).
The principles and actions for safer recruitment derive from the Bichard
Inquiry which was formed following the tragic events of the 'Soham case'
(2004). The Inquiry's Report highlighted flaws and shortcomings in the
recruitment process that allowed Ian Huntley to be employed as a caretaker at
Soham Community School. The Bichard Inquiry recommended that all governing
boards have members who have been safer recruitment trained and that
appointment panels for school leadership posts include at least one governor
who has been safer recruitment trained. This course is based on the Safer
Recruitment Consortium national programme.
Please note that attendance to the whole day/both sessions is required in
order to achieve accreditation. If delegates are unable to attend the full
session/s and wish to book on an alternative date to complete the
accreditation, there will be a full charge for both sessions attended.
The session will:
- raise awareness of the Bichard Inquiry Report and the safer recruitment framework
- look at data and trends in school/academy incidents of abuse
- look at safer recruitment processes and policies
- provide an opportunity to go through the recruitment process
