Safer recruitment training

Become more confident in the skills needed to recruit staff safely.

 

CWDC has produced training for organisations in England that work with or provide services for children and families. These organisations have a duty to protect children's welfare. If you recruit paid staff or volunteers into the children and families workforce then you should take the safer recruitment training. 

 

What's involved?

This online training course can be completed at your own pace. The training covers:

  • What abuse is
  • Recruitment processes that should be followed
  • How to manage allegations
  • The current arrangements for vetting and checking.

 

Although the level of detail is high and a some of what is included will not be specifically relevant to childminders, the training would help highlight appropriate practice when hiring assistants.
