Safer education staffing
Safeguarding & vetting

- 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.
