Compliance

ESL is committed to safeguarding the welfare of children. We will not assign a team member until all checks have been completed. The checks that we conduct in support of the Safeguarding regulations include:

• References
• ID check
• Previous employment history
• Health declaration
• Enhanced DBS disclosure
• Qualifications
• QTS
• Prohibition from Teaching check
• Right to work
• Disqualification by Association check (self declaration form)
• Induction status

We provide written confirmation orders which satisfy all aspects of the DfE and Ofsted guidelines and produce a photo ID card which features the name of the candidate and confirms disclosure information. The information on the ID card will match that on the confirmation email.
