Managing the Single Central Record

The course aims to provide participants with a comprehensive understanding of the regulatory framework and best practices that define the format and content of the Single Central Record (SCR). It will guide them in identifying the appropriate categories of staff and workers that should be recorded within the SCR while exploring various formatting and content options to ensure clarity and compliance. Additionally, the course equips participants with practical knowledge of all pre-employment checks required for school-based staff, volunteers, contractors, and agency workers, helping them implement thorough and effective vetting processes. By the end of the session, participants will be prepared to review their own school's SCR and associated pre-employment checking procedures, ensuring consistency, accuracy, and alignment with safeguarding standards.
