Vetting Standards

We operate rigorous quality control in all aspects of recruitment, vetting and registration to ensure that, whatever their background, all our supply staff more than match the exacting regulatory standards set by the DCSF.

We also recognise the legal obligations placed on Headteachers when utilising agency staff.  Our free online Vetting Records Service comprehensively and efficiently enables schools to comply with all of their legal obligations for Safer Recruitment in Education and offers complete peace of mind when booking staff through Teaching Personnel.

Teaching Personnel's vetting checks/registration process includes:

  • In-depth face-to-face interviews
  • Criminal backgrounds check including CRB Enhanced Disclosures and List 99'
  • Identity checks
  • Health checks
  • Critical assessment of two most recent professional references
  • Qualifications check
  • GTC check
  • Permission to work in the UK check

Teaching Personnel maintains an independent recruitment and vetting control department which ensures that our vetting standards are the highest possible.
