SAFER RECRUITMENT

At Otterhampton, we follow Safer Recruitment. Developed in line with the Department for Education’s Keeping children safe in education guidance (2023), Safer Recruitment follows the safeguarding framework for England.

Safer Recruitment concerns:

• preparing to recruit
• selecting the right people
• assessing the risk
• how to remain vigilant
• recognising different types of abuse
• inappropriate behaviour and unsafe practice
• how to develop appropriate policies and procedures for your organisation.
