The Handling allegations against candidates and members of staff training provides owners, directors, senior staff and designated safeguarding officers in recruitment services with the requisite understanding and skills needed to respond to allegations and how to be an effective part of any investigation or multi agency strategy. The course examines the role of recruitment services when concerns are raised and explores the procedure for investigation, as well as guidance on working with the LADO and other services, when information should be shared. The course will also highlight some of the common pitfalls, and the statutory obligations following the conclusion of an investigation.
The workshop is led by Adele Gladman who is an approved independent consultant working with the NSPCC and the Independent Inquiry into Child Sexual Abuse since 2018, both as an independent expert and a facilitator for the Truth Project. Adele is passionate about improving outcomes for children and young people and developing the skills of those who work with them.
The course consists of a full day virtual session delivered using Zoom Video conferencing, making the content more easily digestible and effective. The day includes scenario-based activities and discussions as well as delivery of relevant information concerning statutory guidance and best practice tips.
To ensure that children, young people and adults at risk are adequately protected from abuse by improving the way that those attending respond, manage and record allegations of abuse that have been made against staff or a candidate registered with their agency.
