Safer Recruitment Workshop (online)

Safer Recruitment Workshop (online):

Please note: Our workshops are for practitioners who work within any of these boroughs; Hammersmith & Fulham, Kensington & Chelsea or Westminster.

This full-day workshop (delivered in x4 - 90 min sessions) is accredited by the Lucy Faithfull foundation and is suitable for managers and HR staff, including those who are involved in recruiting. The workshop provides a comprehensive approach to recruiting which aims to reduce the risk of unsuitable people gaining access to children through employment or voluntary work.  (please note this workshop is aimed at staff working in education sector but the general principles are applicable to any section of the children's workforce).

The workshop highlights a model of sex-offender’s behaviour which is then applied to the recruitment process to show how organisations can work towards preventing offenders from working in their setting. This workshop also explores how organisations can create an ongoing culture of vigilance and support staff to ensure this is organisation-wide.
