Safeguarding policy
Last updated: 26 July 2026
SchoolJobs.uk supports safer recruitment. While we are not the employer, we expect every vacancy on this site to comply with UK safeguarding law and guidance.
Our commitments
- Every vacancy must include a safeguarding statement and reference DBS / PVG / AccessNI checks appropriate to the role.
- Employers must comply with Keeping Children Safe in Education (KCSIE) 2024 in England, and equivalent guidance in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.
- We remove any listing that appears to circumvent safer-recruitment requirements.
What we ask of employers
- Verify candidate identity, right to work and qualifications.
- Take up references before appointment.
- Complete the appropriate enhanced background check (Enhanced DBS with Children's Barred List check in England & Wales; PVG in Scotland; AccessNI in Northern Ireland).
- Follow safer-recruitment interview practice.
