Ep 22 - Part 3 - KCSIE - Safer Recruitment

As a DSL, making 'Keeping Children Safe in Education' accessible to all staff is key to the designated safeguarding lead role. We know from the guidance itself that all staff should read and understand part one of keeping children safe in education, but as a DSL, have you read the whole thing?

In this mini-series of safeguarding days, I will give you that opportunity to reflect on keeping children safe in education; and its individual parts. 

I am going to work through that opportunity to use this as a flexible avenue to come on to Spotify, Apple Music, or wherever you get your podcast to listen, word for word to each part of 'Keeping Children Safe in Education'.

In this first episode, I will lead you through part three.

Part three covers what we can do as designated safeguarding leads to ensure that our single central record is up to date; our safer recruitment processes are robust; and we are following the statutory guidance concerning pre-employment checks for staff, governors, volunteers, or any other adult we engage with as an organisation.
