Since the publication of the Bichard Inquiry, the staff at the Lucy Faithfull Foundation have been involved in the design and delivery of the accredited Safer Recruitment Training Courses for schools and for the wider children’s workforce. Nationally, there are but a handful of individuals authorised to deliver this ‘train the trainer’ course, which equips delegates with the knowledge and authority to deliver the one-day Safer Recruitment Workshop accredited by the Safer Recruitment Consortium.
- an in depth knowledge of the legislation and national guidance that underpins safer recruitment practice
- a sound understanding of the key features of a safer recruitment process
- the skills and confidence to deliver the accredited materials to professionals who work with children in education settings and / or the wider children’s workforce
- for those who work in the adult sector, an understanding of how safer recruitment training is adapted for that workforce
- to introduce, showcase and deepen understanding of the course content
- to increase knowledge and understanding of the course design and delivery options
- to appreciate the history and mission of the Safer Recruitment Consortium, including the consortium’s quality assurance / training standards
- to develop ideas on how the course can be delivered in a variety of formats
- to increase confidence in delivery and discuss how to handle typical audiences
The training is very thorough and is clear on the objectives required for safer recruitment and creating an inclusive safe environment. There are a lot of resources available to support this learning.
Trainers had excellent knowledge, both on content and the skills of how to deliver. The material and resources given are detailed and extensive.
The trainer was very positive and easy to listen to, I think the person delivering is one of the most important parts to the training.
