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 training sessions, which are accredited by the Safer Recruitment Consortium.  Further details on available full day courses are available on our website and through contacting our office.

 

Attendees:

This training is suitable for:

·           Managers, directors, board members, and any staff who have responsibility for any aspect of recruitment and selection to roles which have contact with children and young people and/or adults at risk of harm.

 

Learning Outcomes:

Been having first aid training for 13 years. This was the best one I've attended. Far more informative and covered more likely scenarios that would happen in the school setting

I feel this course has been better than previous first aid courses I've completed. More focus on the types of injuries that we would likely treat in our role
