What does Safeguarding mean to us?
Safeguarding is at the forefront of our priorities and the company as a whole are fully committed to protecting children and young people through safer recruitment and best practice. Our Professional Practice for Safeguarding ensures the candidates we deploy are compliant and suitable to work in an education setting throughout their time with Principal Resourcing.
Principal Resourcing takes its lead from government guidance and legislation with regard to all safeguarding procedures and we work in line with DfE Keeping Children Safe in Education and DfE working together to safeguard children. We work closely with our clients, the local authority safeguarding team and other external agents to carry out any necessary practices in the interest of safeguarding children.
Safer Recruitment
All candidates are thoroughly vetted prior to placement in line with safer recruitment. Our experienced in-house compliance teams are experienced in ensuring all necessary checks are carried out to a high level before any candidate is clear to work.
Before an assignment takes place, we send our clients a Principal Passport which encompasses all vetting checks completed in order to determine a candidates suitability for work.
To show our commitment to safer recruitment, we proudly hold the REC Audited Education accreditation. This accolade demonstrates to schools and education professionals an accredited supplier, who is independently verified, putting standards and child safety at the centre of their business. We have worked hard to achieve and maintain this accolade over many years, which is not held by all Education Agencies. It provides you with the confidence and assurance that we adhere to the highest standard within the Education Recruitment Industry.
