Keeping Children Safe in Education (KCSiE) 2022

​

Every person that works in regulated activity (roles that involve working with children) at Crawford's completes an Enhanced Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) check. Anyone who is on the DBS barred list is prohibited from working in the school. For more guidance, please watch this helpful video: A Guide to DBS Checks. 

​

Alongside completing DBS checks for all those involved in regulated activity (including volunteers), we also follow 'Safer Recruitment' protocols, including:

• An application form, recording all employment history (including any gaps in employment);

• Identity check;

• Personal details recorded;

• 2 suitable references (one being the most recent employer, where relevant);

• The signing of the Disqualification by Association Childcare Act 2006.

​
