Safeguarding Training

Protecting Children and Young People

Safeguarding is at the heart of everything we do at MAT Recruitment.
All staff working on behalf of MAT Recruitment are required to complete up-to-date Safeguarding Training in line with the latest Keeping Children Safe in Education (KCSIE) guidance and to pass our Safeguarding Quiz before undertaking any school-based work.

Our Safeguarding Training goes beyond statutory requirements by including practical situations and self-reflection exercises.

The training can be accessed online and is self-paced, making it flexible and ideal for teachers, support staff and senior leaders working across multiple schools or settings.
