Safeguarding

We are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expect all staff to share this commitment. A Safeguarding and Child Protection policy together with a Diversity and Equality Policy is provided to every member of staff.

An enhanced DBS Disclosure is a mandatory requirement.

Keeping Children Safe in Education

Supply Tree will conduct online searches of shortlisted candidates. This check will be part of a safeguarding check, and the search will purely be based on whether an individual is suitable to work with children. All aspects of social media and internet searches will be conducted. As care must be taken to avoid unconscious bias and any risk of discrimination, a person who will not on the appointment panel will conduct the searches and will only share information if and when findings are relevant and of concern.

Diversity and Equality

Supply Tree values the diversity of our workforce and welcomes applications from all sectors of the community.
