So, we refer to Safer Recruitment as a journey, as it isn’t just one thing but a process that happens over time and never actually stops. On the screen are the key areas in that journey, all of which are as important as one other .​

Think about who is responsible for each area in your setting and what your processes looks like? If you’re not sure or roles are carried out elsewhere in your organisation, it is important to familiarise yourself with the process, so you are aware of what happens and when and to know that this journey is happening in an effective and robust way, in line with legislation and guidance.
