Safeguarding
School Direct Tuition (SDT)
The university ensures that all trainees, as part of admissions procedures, have taken part in a rigorous selection process designed to assess their suitability to train to teach and to satisfy Keeping Children Safe in Education requirements.
This includes an Enhanced DBS Check
The ITT Criteria supporting advice states:
Providers should confirm in writing to schools that a non-salaried trainee’s criminal record check, including a check of the children’s barred list, has been completed and that the individual has been judged by the provider to be suitable to work with children. Providers are not required to provide any information to schools in addition to this confirmation. Schools may wish to record this confirmation in their single central record, but they are not required to do so.
For SDT Trainees the university will send to School Direct Lead Schools, ahead of the course start date (via a secure file sharing system) a copy of university vetting checks for each SDT Trainee. It is then the responsibility of the Lead school to send these Vetting checks on to trainee base schools
This vetting check will confirm all of the above.
School Direct Salaried (SDS)
For SDS trainees it is the responsibility of the SD Lead school (or Base school) to carry out these checks.
The School should (ahead of the course start date) complete and return a vetting check on the university template for each SDS trainee.
More information on the DBS process can be found here
