Safer Recruitment Toolkit

Safer Recruitment Toolkit

£3.00Price

A clear and practical Safer Recruitment Toolkit designed to support childminders in safely and responsibly employing assistants within their setting.


This resource provides a structured, step-by-step framework that helps childminders follow good safeguarding practice throughout the recruitment process. From preparing a job advert through to induction and probation, the toolkit outlines key steps that help ensure assistants are recruited safely and appropriately.
