Learn how to recruit safely into the children and young people’s workforce
We want anyone recruiting people to work with children and young people, whether in the public, private or voluntary sectors, to do our online safer recruitment training.
The safer recruitment training is required to ensure that correct decisions are made during the recruitment process to ensure that unsuitable people are not given the opportunity to access children and young people.
There are two training courses for different audiences. Please ensure you chose the one which is appropriate to you.
-
Safer recruitment in education - for the school sector workforce
-
Recruiting safely: safer recruitment for the wider audience
What is the difference?
The key concepts of safer recruitment are consistent within both training programmes, however the safer recruitment in education training is designed specifically for the schools sector and CWDC's training has been designed with the rest of the children and young people's workforce in mind. Therefore the scenarios and examples will be relevant to each training programme.
