At R&A Education Solutions, safeguarding isn’t a box-ticking exercise — it’s a core responsibility we take seriously every single day.
When schools trust us to supply teaching and support staff, they’re placing their pupils in the care of people we have carefully selected and thoroughly vetted. That trust means everything to us. That’s why we build robust safeguarding practices into every stage of our recruitment process.
Our Commitment to Keeping Children Safe
Nothing is more important than the safety and wellbeing of the children and young people in the schools we support. We understand the weight of that responsibility, and we approach every placement with the same high standards we would expect if it were our own children’s school.
Our policies and processes are designed to protect pupils, give schools complete confidence, and ensure every candidate understands their role in creating a safe environment.
A Rigorous Vetting & Compliance Process
Every candidate we place must successfully complete a thorough safeguarding and compliance process before they set foot in a classroom. This includes:
- Enhanced DBS check
- Identity verification
- Right-to-work confirmation
- Professional references
- Qualification checks
- Barred list and prohibition checks
- Support with safeguarding training
We don’t cut corners. We believe thorough, consistent checks are the foundation of safer recruitment.
Ongoing Support Beyond Placement
Safeguarding doesn’t stop once a candidate starts. We continue to support both schools and staff with:
- Regular compliance updates and re-checks
- Safeguarding and child protection training
- Clear reporting procedures for any concerns
- Consultants who are trained in safer recruitment practices
This ongoing approach helps keep our processes reliable, up-to-date, and effective.
Working in Partnership
Safeguarding is a shared responsibility. We work closely with schools to meet compliance requirements and give candidates the knowledge and support they need to uphold the highest standards in every role.
When you partner with R&A Education Solutions, you can be confident that every professional we supply has been carefully vetted and fully understands the vital part they play in keeping children safe.
