Safer Recruitment and Selection Practice

Safer Recruitment and Selection Practice

Course intended for: - All those working in early years and childcare settings who are responsible for the recruitment and selection of staff.
Recent Changes in OFSTED inspection and regulation following the implementation of the Children Act 2004, the Bichard enquirey and Every Child Matters have highlighted the need for childcare settings to ensure the recruitment processes reflect the importance of safeguarding children.

This very important workshop will consider how to make the recruitment of staff and volunteers as safe as possible, looking at pre-employment checks and the selection process. Recruitment frameworks will be considered and the difficulties in balancing the need to recruit swiftly with the priority of making safe appointments. The workshop will also consider what to do if it all goes wrong.
