Educator checks
Every required check must be complete or clearly recorded as not applicable.
Safeguarding
Safer recruitment for permanent school roles.
We record every required safer-recruitment check separately. We agree checking responsibilities with each school; the school remains responsible for its required pre-employment checks.
Before a candidate starts
Two things must be complete.
The school must accept our terms, and the educator must pass every check required for the role.
School agreement
Permanent recruitment terms, role details and checking responsibilities must be agreed with the school.
Secure documents
Documents are stored securely. Public forms collect only the details needed to respond.
Educator check record
Checks completed before an educator is classroom-ready.

School confirmation
