When a vacancy arises in your organisation, you naturally want to ensure you hire the best and brightest. This course will ensure that you achieve this. However, the primary purpose of the course is to ensure that whilst making recruitment decisions, the children at risk in your setting are safeguarded from harm.

This course will ensure that all who work in recruitment are fully aware of the statutory guidance that governs the recruitment of people who work with children. It will ensure that the legislation is fully embedded in your organisation to guarantee that every child is protected from potential harm.

The learning objectives for this course are as follows:

1. To understand the legislation and guidance that surrounds recruitment
2. To be able to make informed decisions based on tried and tested methods
3. To know exactly what procedures should and must be followed when hiring staff or volunteers

This course ensures your practice is in line with the requirements of the Childcare Act 2006 (the Act), as amended by the Children and Families Act 2014. It will also support your continuous professional development and enable you to keep well informed and up-to-date with current practice.
