Safer education staffing

Safeguarding & vetting

Every placement is handled by people, with checks reviewed for the individual, the role and the school before an assignment is confirmed.

  • Identity and right to workWe review the required identity and UK right-to-work evidence.
  • Enhanced DBS statusWe check an appropriate Enhanced DBS certificate and Update Service status where applicable.
  • Employment history and referencesWe review relevant work history, discuss gaps and obtain suitable references.
  • Qualifications and role checksWe verify qualifications, registrations and role-specific evidence where required.
  • Safeguarding expectationsCandidates are made aware of the professional and safeguarding standards expected in schools.
  • Ongoing monitoringOur team monitors time-sensitive compliance information and follows up when updated evidence is needed.
