Safer Recruitment

Who is it aimed at?

If you recruit staff or volunteers to work with children or young people, it is essential you create a culture of safer recruitment and, as part of that, adopt recruitment procedures that help discourage, reject or identify people who might harm children.

What are the objectives?

This interactive workshop delivered over two half-day online sessions looks at:

  • Safer Recruitment and the wider context of safeguarding
  • The prevalence of abuse and profile of abusers
  • How abusers operate within organisations
  • Features of a Safer Recruitment process and planning a Safer Recruitment process
  • Making the right decision: interview and selection
  • Using Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) checks
  • Setting acceptable standards of behaviour & maintaining an ongoing culture of vigilance

How will it make a difference?

Sglein can help you to improve your knowledge, develop your skills and increase your confidence to recruit the right people and to maintain an ongoing, safer culture of vigilance.
