Session Description
About the Event
Robust recruitment practices are essential in the deterrent and prevention of unsuitable people from working with children and young people or adults who may be at risk of harm in any organisation that provides services to them. This session aims to provide delegates with an overview of the practices and principles that can be applied through recruitment, selection and recruitment vetting to support organisations to identify and minimise risks.
This session is suitable for all those
involved in recruitment to roles working with those groups and associated
recruitment vetting, including those who have attended previous training but
are seeking to refresh their knowledge in relation to legislative changes and
best practice.
For those leading recruitment or
recruitment vetting to roles working with children and young people and/or
adults at risk of harm, we recommend that delegates consider our full day
