Safeguarding Accredited

anzuk Education are proud to have been awarded the APSCo Compliance+ certification. This is our commitment to the highest standards of safer recruitment.

APSCo Compliance+ Accredited

The Association of Professional Staffing Companies (APSCo) has developed Compliance+ to provide an uncompromising quality benchmark for Education companies. It is the best practice quality standard for Education recruitment businesses and compels members to go beyond statutory safeguarding standards and aim for excellence in competency selection and service quality.

We at anzuk Education Ltd are proud to hold a Compliance+ accreditation and continue to endeavour to provide the highest quality educators.

 

Why Compliance+?

• Safeguarding which goes beyond statutory requirements designed to help safeguard and improve outcomes for children.
• An annual independent audit process undertaken by a professional body to confirm consistency with safeguarding.
• Ensures competency and suitability of every candidate placed.
• Value-based, safer recruitment training requirement for staffing professionals recognised as certificated standard by the CCS.

 

Compliance+ covers two areas:

Safeguarding which covers all safeguarding and child protection activities undertaken when we are putting a candidate into a school. Competency which goes beyond the safety of a candidate and looks to ensure that anzuk is providing the best, most appropriate and highest quality candidate. As part of our on-going dedication and commitment to the safeguarding of children, please find below a comprehensive guide to the anzuk vetting process.

As a client school, you can be confident that any practicing employee of anzuk Education will have gone through the following vetting procedures. All documents are held on file and are available to schools upon request.
