This course provides the designated safeguarding officer in recruitment services (or those supporting the DSO) with the additional understanding and skills needed to respond to safeguarding concerns and safer recruitment concerns raised by consultants, clients and candidates; as well as an overview of handling allegations made against staff and candidates.
It explores the role of the DSO in multi-agency responses to safeguarding issues as defined by Working Together to Safeguard Children (2018), which sets out arrangements that organisations and agencies should have in place to reflect the importance of safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children.
This course is a mandatory requirement for anyone holding the post of DSO and should be refreshed every 2 years.
Each workshop is led by a highly skilled trainer using Zoom Video conferencing, or, in the case of face-to-face training, a one-day training centre based session.
