We ensure that all background, vetting and DBS checks are completed for every candidate that works with us. In addition, we obtain right to work documents where necessary and always meet teachers face-to-face before making them available for schools to hire. All candidates are required to read and adhere to the Keeping Children Safe in Education DfE guidelines.
