Training course SCBSR1
safer recruitment in schools (course code SCBSR1)
This is a one and a half day course for staff and governors involved in the recruitment and appointment of staff working on school sites. It is an alternative to the Children's Workforce Development Council online training, and is available to head teachers, designated governors and other staff involved in appointments, such as business managers.
On 1st January 2010 it will become mandatory that any staff recruited in schools have been appointed by a panel that includes at least one member who has successfully completed Safer Recruitment training. Knowsley Safeguarding Children Board expects all Knowsley schools to have their Headteacher and Chair of Governors trained as a minimum requirement.
