Maintaining the SCR for Maintained Schools

Are you responsible for maintaining the SCR in your school ?  Are you a governor or leader responsible for monitoring the SCR?

This course is essential for you to: 

• ensure your knowledge is up to date regarding the requirements of the SCR and the current statutory guidance;
• ensure the SCR for your school is in the most appropriate format and contains all the required statutory information; and
• ensure those who oversee the SCR are confident in their knowledge and know how to review the SCR.

The SCR is a key statutory requirement for ensuring safer recruitment procedures/checks are recorded accurately in schools.  It is often the first document Ofsted will look at when they inspect your school and errors can derail the inspection from the outset.  This course is essential for those responsible for the SCR and will provide valuable knowledge and resources to ensure their SCR is compliant and fit for purpose.

At the end of the workshop delegates will:

• have a thorough knowledge of the key requirements of the ‘Keeping Children Safe in Education’ (Part 3) relating to the SCR;
• be confident in recording the required pre-employment checks on their Single Central Record for their school; 
• be confident in how to record different categories of staff; and
• be fully prepared to review and monitor the SCR on an ongoing basis.
