What checks do I need in education?
The ‘Keeping Children Safe in Education’ guidance from the UK Department for Education (DfE) sets out the legal duties that must be followed to safeguard and promote the welfare of children and young people under the age of 18 in schools and colleges. This includes the pre-employment background checks that must be carried out when appointing individuals to engage in regulated activity relating to children. It’s important to check the information in the guidance carefully to ensure your organisation remains compliant and children and staff are safeguarded.

-
Employment and education history
