Enrolling / Recruitment of staff and volunteers
Action needed
Ensuring the safety of children in your group starts by taking reasonable steps to avoid unsuitable people working with children by having a recruitment / enrolment process in place
- Groups that employ paid staff and paid volunteers should have a formal staff recruitment process in place.
- Groups that have volunteers or helpers should have an enrolment procedure
- All groups should ensure that new members of staff or volunteers understand their role and receive support
- All recruitment and enrolment procedures should embrace the principles of equal opportunities
