Safer Recruitment Certification
This course will teach you the importance of safer recruitment of people who want to work with children and adults at risk. It will assist you to recognise the risks to vulnerable groups should the wrong people be employed or allowed to volunteer.
You will become familiar with the procedures and protocols required to ensure that no mistakes are made in the recruitment of people into “regulated work”, which is working directly with children or adults at risk.
You will learn:
- What safer recruitment is and why it’s required
- How to implement safer recruitment policies and procedures
- The checks and investigations required to ensure that you have the right candidate
- How to implement induction and training programmes when onboarding staff
- How to apply safe recruitment practices to volunteers
- What resources and legislation are in place to ensure that safer recruitment happens
