'Child-Safe Practice in Recruitment' - PCA's Downloadable Webcast Available Now!

PCA is incredibly excited to be launching the first of our Online Training Courses. Our first piece of online training is a recorded webcast called, ‘Child-safe practice in recruitment.’

Recruitment and selection is the first opportunity an organisation has to prevent unsuitable people from engaging with children within your organisation. Child safeguarding during recruitment is fundamental to creating child safe organisations.

Embedding child-safe practice in your recruitment process:

  • Increases the safety and wellbeing of children and young people

  • Reduces the risk of organisational abuse and neglect

  • Reduces organisational risk for institutions, and

  • Improves your organisation’s reputation and community standing.

 

The webcast takes a little under 45 minutes to complete and provides an overview of the importance of embedding child safeguarding practices in to your organisation’s recruitment process and how this contributes to preventing organisational abuse and neglect.

In PCA’s Child-safe practice in recruitment webcast, you will be exposed to ideas, research and information which will provide the foundation for your organisation to be able to:

  • Encourage potential perpetrators to ‘self-select out’ of your organisation before even having direct contact with you

  • Train your recruiters to identify ‘red flags’ during the application process which can be examined during interviews to ‘screen out’ unsuitable candidates

  • Optimise your selection process to identify and ‘screen in’ suitable candidates which reflect your organisation’s values toward children, and

  • Consistently hire suitable candidates that reinforce and over time, strengthen your child-safe culture.
