Summary
The Safer Recruitment Policy outlines how British Guardianship ensures that only suitable, fully‑vetted individuals work with or care for students. It applies to staff, volunteers, local coordinators, homestay primary carers, and all household members aged 16+. The policy follows AEGIS Standards, Keeping Children Safe in Education, and UKVI Child Student Rules. It sets out strict recruitment steps including application review, interviews, written references, identity checks, right‑to‑work verification, Enhanced DBS checks, overseas police checks, and risk assessments. Homestays undergo additional scrutiny, including annual self‑declarations. All records are logged in the Single Central Record, and all personnel receive safeguarding training before starting.
