Safer Recruitment: Why Ongoing Training Matters for Education Recruiters

When you work in education recruitment, safer recruitment isn’t simply a box to tick during the registration process. It is a fundamental part of protecting children and young people and ensuring schools can confidently appoint the right people.

That’s why ongoing safer recruitment training is so important for recruitment professionals.

Adele Gladman & Associates’ Safer Recruitment training is designed to support professionals involved in recruitment to understand their responsibilities, strengthen their processes and make safer, more informed recruitment decisions. Adele and her team provide specialist safer recruitment training and consultancy specifically for recruitment agencies working across sectors including education, social care, health and sport.

 

Working together to raise recruitment standards

At Smile Education, we work closely with Adele Gladman & Associates to continually strengthen our approach to safeguarding and safer recruitment.

Our relationship with Adele goes beyond training. Adele has supported Smile through regular safeguarding and safer recruitment audits, helping us review our policies, processes and candidate compliance against current best practice.

For our recruitment teams, training like this is an important opportunity to keep knowledge up to date, reflect on current practice and ensure safeguarding remains at the heart of every recruitment decision.

As an education recruitment agency, we understand the responsibility that comes with placing staff into schools and working environments with children and young people. That responsibility means continually reviewing and improving how we recruit, vet and support candidates.

Safer recruitment is an ongoing commitment – and one we’re proud to take seriously at Smile Education.
