# Safer Recruitment

**Safer recruitment**

As part of our commitment to keeping everybody in school safe, we follow strict procedures to ensure that all staff have a current DBS check. Members of our Leadership Group, our Governing Body, and key support staff have all undertaken safer recruitment training, which is used when advertising and selecting candidates for appointments.

As a Local Authority Maintained School, we use Durham County Council’s recruitment policy, which you can read below.
