What is safer recruitment?
Safer recruitment is a set of practices to help make sure our staff and volunteers are suitable to work with children and young people. It’s a vital part of creating a safe and positive environment and making a commitment to keep children safe from harm. As part of the 2022 KCSiE, we will perform online checks of everyone who applies and interviews at Laycock Primary school, this will also inform a question we ask you in your interview. Safer recruitment is a continuing process of improvement for every school, club, business or organisation whose work or services involve contact with children.
