PROACTIVE RISK MANAGEMENT

Collaborate Now carries out specialist independent risk audits of school's SCR & Safer Recruitment practices, ensuring that schools both appropriately evidence their governance and comply with the new ISI Inspection criteria.  Audits are the best mechanism for preventative control and should be carried out both internally and by an independent specialist. 

Our work empowers schools to excel in the Safer Recruitment aspects of the regulatory inspection, setting a strong foundation for success now and in the future.

Collaborate Now work closely with school leaders, HR and Admin teams, providing not just a service, but a partnership built on trust and integrity. This synergy translates into more efficient processes, streamlined paperwork, and ultimately, better outcomes to safeguard pupils and to be compliant at inspections.

Our Services

Our Services

We offer a specialised independent risk audit of your Single Central Record and Safer Recruitment systems and practices.  ISI recommend that carrying out a Risk Audit is the best preventative control mechanism, in the safeguarding of pupils, and we are here to help.

Regardless of your location, our audits are carried out onsite and we will schedule a due diligence call pre-audit call and completion of a pre-visit questionnaire with you in addition to this. 

You will receive immediate feedback whilst we are onsite, and this will also be followed up with an in depth Audit Outcome Report, pointing out areas in which you excel, and giving you specifics of what you need to change.

SCR & Safer Recruitment Risk Audit

We carry out independent specialist audits onsite at your school.

You will be provided with immediate feedback and guidance will be provided.

Our detailed Audit Output Report will help schools focus on any key improvements, to streamline their recruitment processes and stay ahead of compliance requirements.

We pride ourselves on working collaboratively with schools' leadership teams, for a positive outcome.

Prevent, Prepare & Repair

There are a number of reasons schools chose to work with us.  We work in partnership with schools to prevent and mitigate risk to pupils.

We help schools to prepare for inspections, giving advice and guidance and even help with paperwork if required.

In the unfortunate circumstance of a challenging inspection, or if your key HR personnel has left, we can visit schools and help repair the SCR and Safer Recruitment checks & procedures.

Systems, Procedures & Training

We empower schools to navigate the complexities of staff vetting with confidence & efficiency, offering a personalised, team-driven approach.  

We can provide you with a toolkit and SCR administration resources.

School Leaders look to us to analyse Safer Recruitment systems procedures, perhaps following a departure of key HR/Admin personnel, and to help train new members of the HR or Admin teams in compliant Safer Recruitment.
