Ways that schools safeguard their staff and children
Schools and other educational establishments are places where children and their staff need to be protected. There are many ways that this can be done and using KYC software like that from www.w2globaldata.com/regulatory-compliance-solutions-and-software/know-your-customer/ allows companies to find out more about their customers, visitors and if needed their staff.
When working in education it is also necessary for checks to be made on the individuals to ensure that they are eligible to work in the UK and that they have all the necessary qualifications to be a teacher or to work in the role they have applied for.
DBS checks are another way that educational businesses check that those that have applied for positions are suitable for the roles. These checks are undertaken by companies that apply to have the person’s name and details checked against the criminal records. These are held to ensure that they have no convictions that would make them unsuitable for working with children and young people. These DBS checks will pull up any convictions or warnings and notify the company so they will be able to assess whether this will affect the person’s ability to continue in their role.
Other ways that schools help safeguard their pupils is through the use of signing in software that ensures that they know who is in the building at all times and that people who are coming into the school building are identified easily.
