(This note is not part of the Regulations)
The School Staffing (England) Regulations 2009 ("the principal Regulations") make provision relating to the staffing of maintained schools. Regulation 9 makes provision about the completion of safer recruitment training for persons involved in the selection and recruitment of school staff. "Safer recruitment training" is defined in regulation 3 of the principal Regulations as training provided by a person approved by the Secretary of State for the purpose of ensuring that those who undertake it know how take account of the need to safeguard children when recruiting staff. These Regulations amend that definition so that from 1st September 2014, it is not a requirement for "safer recruitment training" to be provided by a person approved by the Secretary of State. In addition a minor clarifying amendment is also made to the definition in regulation 3.
A full impact assessment has not been produced for this instrument as no, or no significant, impact on the private, voluntary or public sectors is foreseen.
