Safeguarding
No compromises, whatsoever…
At Connex Education Partnership, we are utterly committed to keeping children and young people safe.
The first step in safeguarding anyone vulnerable is preventing those who may wish to harm or abuse them from entering the workforce. That is why every applicant to Connex is pre-screened by a trained and dedicated team before interviews as the first step in our recruitment and selection process.
Each year we decline to register hundreds of potential candidates who fail to meet the high standards we set and expect our staff to meet and maintain.
Our safeguarding and vetting procedures are far more stringent than national legislation, or the DfE, require. As well as meeting all the industry standards, we are holders of the REC Audited Education – the leading standard for education recruitment agencies (This standard includes regular, independent external audits).
We vet all staff rigorously. Schools receive written confirmation of every check carried out. And schools have access to a comprehensive Single Central Record of the staff via “SinCeRe” – our secure client portal.
Schools can be completely confident in our service and our staff, knowing we are doing all that we can, keeping children safe in education. We are very proud of our track record and standards, and we are never complacent.
Vetting
All of our staff are rigorously vetted by us. Schools are provided with an email confirmation which clearly states that all the checks required by the DfE have been carried out.
These checks include:
- Pre-screening telephone interview
- Face-to-face interview
- References
- I.D. check & Right to Work
- Previous employment history
- Barred List check (formerly List 99)
- Enhanced DBS
