Recruitment and selection are your organisation’s first opportunities to identify and prevent people that may pose a risk to the health, safety, and wellbeing of children and young people from being able to exploit their position within your organisation to cause harm to children.

PCA’s Child-Safe Practice in Recruitment provides valuable insight to embedding child-safe practices into your recruitment and selection process which:

• 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 values toward children, and

• Consistently hire suitable candidates that reinforce and overtime, strengthen your child-safe culture
