Safeguarding & Compliance

Winner Education are proud members of APSco UK which is the only UK recruitment trade body with an international footprint and the only UK recruitment trade body specifically representing those firms operating with the professional sectors. 

APSCo has developed Compliance+ to provide an uncompromising quality benchmark for education recruitment businesses. The requirements of Compliance+compel education recruitment companies to go beyond statutory safeguarding standards, and to aim for excellence in competency selection and service quality. 

APSCo has constructed this ground-breaking standard, designed to safeguard children and to benchmark recruitment businesses against the highest service criteria, following extensive consultation with its Education Sector Group members (recruitment businesses) and, crucially, external stakeholders from the National Association of Head Teachers, the Association of School and College Leaders, Voice, the National Association of School Business Management, Academies Enterprise Trust, the School Governors One Stop Shop and the Independent Academies Association. 

Through APSCo, education recruitment businesses now have a unique opportunity to take control of the sector and shape future practices by working to a new, rigorous measure that manages the expectations of all stakeholders involved and demonstrates their expert knowledge in this specialist market.
