Assurance on NHS Staff Recruitment and Support for School IT Connectivity
We understand how important it is for schools to feel confident in the professionals working with children and young people. As an NHS Trust, we want to reassure you that we have rigorous recruitment processes in place to safeguard those in our care. All staff undergo enhanced DBS checks and comprehensive pre-employment screening to ensure they are suitable, competent, and safe to work with children and young people.
To support transparency and partnership working, we’ve prepared a letter that outlines these safeguarding measures in more detail. You can access it here:
In addition, we’re committed to improving the quality and efficiency of the services we deliver in schools. NHS staff often face challenges connecting to school IT systems due to necessary security protocols. This can delay record-keeping and impact service delivery. Our IT team has developed a guidance pack to help your IT provider enable secure connectivity for our staff.
We greatly appreciate your support in sharing this with your IT teams, helping us to help you.
