Safeguarding

Protecting children from harm in their safe school setting is critical. As an education recruitment agency, we make sure both the schools we work with and the staff we provide are as committed as we are to the wellbeing and safety of every person under the age of 18.

Keeping Children Safe in Education

The safeguarding & welfare of young people begins with us

Our designated safeguarding lead is a former headteacher. Not only does this give you the peace of mind that we know exactly which safeguarding steps and policies to follow, it also means we truly understand the processes and why they’re crucial.

With Academic Appointments, you can trust we’ll take every vital step, and beyond, to protect the children in your school.

How we keep your children safe in school

  • Have a full-time team solely committed to safeguarding.
  • Employ a former headteacher as our designated safeguarding lead.
  • Confirm every candidate has completed a recognised safeguarding certification before they step foot in your school.
  • Make sure all our internal staff have taken an assessed NCSL/CWDC safer recruitment training course (child protection and HR officers of Leeds Education Authority independently run this course).
  • Hold the REC Audited Education Gold Standard Accreditation, increasing both our compliance and your peace of mind.
  • Guarantee all our applicants go through a strict vetting 'MOT' system (our 12-point check).

Comprehensive vetting for every candidate

The 12-point check is our step-by-step child safety process. It makes sure every candidate meets the unwavering safeguarding expectations of both our agency and our schools. The method never changes, so you can rest assured nothing is missed.
