Our Vetting Procedures
We adhere to the stringent checks insisted upon by DCSF to be awarded the Quality Mark, which as a new company we are unable to apply for….yet! (but it’s in our sights) We take our lead from our sister company - Proactive Education Recruitment www.perecruitment.co.uk , who are holders of the DCSF Quality Mark and praised as ‘a credit to the reputation of the industry’ on receipt of the award.
Following an application to Local Education Recruitment, a teacher will only be eligible for supply teaching vacancies once they have undertaken our strict vetting procedures. Any supply teacher working at your school or college through Local Education Recruitment would have been subject to a face to face interview/registration process, with the following checks completed.
- Current Curriculum Vitae detailing previous employment and all qualifications.
- Degree or Qualification, awarding institution and the date awarded.
- 1st Identity check – Passport Only.
- 2nd Identity check – Driving Licence, Birth Certificate, ID card etc…
- Marriage or Name Change Certificate to validate any documents in other names.
- Eligibility to work in the UK (Suitable UK / EU Passport or Visa).
- Confirmation of DCSF Number (if applicable)
- Confirmation of UK QTS & GTC Registration (if applicable)
- Two employment referees – at least one from their most recent employer
- National Police Check from their home country (if they are an overseas national)
- Proof of their UK address via a utility bill.
- Proof of their UK Bank Account for confirmation for any future payments.
- Proof of National Insurance Number from official Inland Revenue document.
All supporting documents provided must either be the original, or a fully certified copy.
We will also undertake:
- A new CRB application. We will consider a portability request if the disclosure is under 12 months old – Please contact us for a copy of our CRB policy

- Medical Questionnaire and Declaration
At interview the candidate is asked to talk through their previous employment, and asked to explain any major gaps, to check for validity of previous employment.
This progresses on to a discussion about desired work for the future, expectations for candidates that work via Local Education Recruitment, and an explanation of the time line for the completion of the vetting procedure, before work can commence.
