Safer recruitment: undertaking online checks on candidates

Webinar via Zoom
Friday 2nd February 2024
12:45 pm (1:00 pm start) – 2:30 pm

This event is only open to NASS members

‘Keeping children safe in education’ paragraph 221 says “as part of the shortlisting process schools and colleges should consider carrying out an online search as part of their due diligence on the shortlisted candidates.”

This webinar will explore:

• What the DfE intended by the phrase ‘online search’
• Best practice when undertaking online searches
• Recording / evidencing that online searches have been completed
• The legal implications (GDPR UK / DPA 2018) of gathering personal data online for employment purposes

This webinar is suitable for HTs, strategic leaders in schools, school business managers, HR officers, recruitment administrators, etc.

NB There is no statutory requirement for children’s homes or adult service providers to undertake online searches on candidates.

As this is a virtual event you will require audio/visual capability i.e. desktop with webcam plus headphones and a microphone or laptop/device with microphone and camera.  Delegates will be required to have their camera on during the event.
