Vetting & Safeguarding
The safeguarding and security of children is our number one priority and we are extremely thorough in our vetting and screening process for all candidates. All candidates are personally interviewed by specialist Classroom Support consultants, with identities, work experience, qualifications, DBS status and references all fully checked and reviewed before we recommend them for placement in your school.
We are proud members of the Recruitment & Employment Confederation (REC) and closely follow their guidelines as to safeguarding and vetting. To see the checks Classroom Support and our compliance department perform before placing any teacher or support staff into your school please see our vetting procedures (link to vetting page)
