The St Lawrence Academies Trust is committed to providing a safe environment for children and young people to live and learn. To achieve this, it is important that there are processes in place to identify, deter, and reject unsuitable people from working with children and young people. Safer recruitment involves a range of checks that enable the Trust to make informed recruitment decisions on whether a potential employee is suitable to work in a post involving contact with children.
Recruitment decisions will be based on consideration of all aspects of the recruitment process, including pre-employment checks, taking account of any gaps in the context of the information that is available, and a full risk assessment if necessary.
