Safer Hiring Practices Training for Schools

It is critical for a school’s recruiting approach to include an analysis of how candidates will navigate the “Culture of Safety.“

Every individual who joins a school community should be screened for safety in the same way. Once your candidate becomes part of your circle of trust, they have immediate access to all students in your care. It is critical that everyone responsible for hiring is trained on proper interviewing techniques that help identify the candidates who have the best intentions for working with and around children – and to screen out – those who don’t.

This program will be specific to your school and provide opportunities to go in-depth with the strategies that really get to the heart of who the candidate is. The lasting impact for you, is a much safer and comprehensive hiring process for your school.
