Online Workshop: An introduction to Safer Recruitment. (Voluntary Organisations and New Community Groups)
October 22 @ 10:00 am - 11:30 am
Tuesday 21st October: 10am – 11.30am (Via Zoom)
Are you responsibility for hiring or supervising new staff members or volunteers in your organisation or community group?
It is essential that all those with recruitment responsibilities understand how to keep children and young people safe when delivering services to under 25’s in Camden.
This introductory safer recruitment session will help organisations think about the current policies and practices they have in place and explore how to plan better and safer.
As well as support those responsible for recruitment, we will consider the shortlisting, pre-assessment, and interview process.
How to evaluate if applicants share the same child protective attitudes and values your organisation does, and how practices after recruitment are essential to safeguarding effectively.
The session will also cover:
- The importance of safe recruitment in voluntary organisations.
- What to consider when preparing to recruit.
- Selecting the right people.
- Safeguarding and remaining vigilant.
So, join us for a morning of safeguarding discussion, protective cultures and policy review.
