Safer Recruitment
Safer recruitment practices are vital for all settings where children and young adults are present. As someone with responsibility for hiring and/or supervising new staff members, it’s essential that you understand how to ensure these people are safe to work with children. The people that you recruit must share the same child protection attitudes and values as you do, and this begins with a thorough safer recruitment process.
