APSCo Compliance+

Highest Standards of Safer Recruitment

In 2018, VES Recruitment became the first Welsh company to achieve APSCo Compliance+ certification, highlighting our commitment to the highest standards of safer recruitment. Safeguarding is at the core of everything we do. We recognise the responsibility we have to ensure the safety and wellbeing of the pupils, young people, and individuals supported by the staff we place.


Our Compliance+ accreditation gives Head Teachers, care managers, and organisations complete confidence that every candidate we provide has been carefully screened and vetted through rigorous recruitment and compliance processes that meet the highest industry standards.

APSCo Compliance+ focuses
on two core areas:

1

Safeguarding

Safeguarding is central to every stage of our recruitment process. From initial candidate screening to final placement, we follow strict procedures to ensure the safety and wellbeing of children and vulnerable adults in the schools and care settings we support. Our thorough safeguarding checks and processes ensure that every candidate meets the highest standards before being placed.

2

Competency

Competency goes beyond ensuring a candidate is safe to work with children and vulnerable adults. It reflects our commitment to supplying high-quality professionals who are not only fully vetted but also the right fit for each school or care setting. By carefully assessing skills, experience, and suitability, we ensure the candidates we place can effectively meet the unique needs of every environment.

What this means for our Clients

At VES Recruitment, safeguarding and compliance are at the core of our service. We understand the responsibility that comes with placing staff in schools and care settings, which is why we follow rigorous recruitment and vetting procedures to ensure every candidate meets the highest standards.

Our commitment to safeguarding provides Head Teachers, care managers, and organisations with complete confidence that they are working with a trusted recruitment partner. When you choose VES Recruitment, you can rely on a service that prioritises safety, quality, and professionalism at every stage of the recruitment process.

What this means for our Candidates

Our commitment to safeguarding and compliance ensures that every candidate goes through a thorough and professional registration process. This includes a face-to-face registration where we take the time to get to know you, review your experience, and ensure you are fully prepared for work in education or care settings.

As part of our safer recruitment procedures, we carry out all relevant checks, including identity verification, reference checks, right-to-work confirmation, and safeguarding requirements.

These steps help ensure that every professional we place meets the highest standards expected by schools and care providers.

By following these processes, we not only protect the people you work with but also ensure you are matched with roles that suit your skills, experience, and career goals.
