Toolkits and policies

Recruitment of ex-offenders

All employers must treat Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) check applicants who have a criminal record fairly and should not discriminate because of a conviction or other information revealed.

Sample policy on the recruitment of ex-offenders DOCX, 70.5KB

Safer recruitment training

Keeping Children Safe in Education 2021 states that:

“The School Staffing (England) Regulations 2009 require governing bodies of maintained schools to ensure that at least one of the persons who conducts an interview has completed safer recruitment training. Governing bodies of maintained schools may choose appropriate training and may take advice from the local three safeguarding partners in doing so. The training should cover, as a minimum, the content of this guidance.”

This requirement became effective at 1 January 2010.
There is not a statutory obligation to 'renew' or 'refresh' this training although schools may consider that having “refresher” training for relevant staff (e.g. every five years) would be beneficial.
The Department for Education (DfE) previously ran accredited courses (by accredited trainers) that meant delegates attending those courses were deemed to have met the requirements of the above Regulations. Subsequently, the 'Safer Recruitment Consortium' (SRC) replaced the DfE in running those courses. The Buckinghamshire Council 'Safeguarding in Employment Team' runs accredited SRC courses on a regular basis. Alternatively, the NSPCC has an online safer recruitment in education e-learning course which covers exactly the same material as the SRC Course and which also provides accreditation.
