About PCA’s Child-Safe Practice in Recruitment Recorded Webcast

The Recruitment/Talent Acquisition Team in any child-serving organisation are uniquely placed to be one of the strongest tools in protecting children from abuse, neglect and exploitation. Often, they do this without even having regular contact with the children they are protecting! More than that, a child-safe recruitment process protects children so early in the continuum that it prevents unsuitable people from being employed by child-safe organisations in the first place. A truly proactive child-safe practice.

Organisations that have embedded child-safe practice in their recruitment process are implementing Principle 5 of the National Principles for Child Safe Organisations. Specifically, a child-safe recruitment process contributes to embedding the following Action Areas from Principle 5:

5.1   Recruitment, including advertising, referee checks and staff and volunteer pre-employment screening, emphasises child safety and wellbeing, and
5.2   Relevant staff and volunteers have current working with children checks or equivalent background checking.

To support organisations to be positioned to review their recruitment function from a child-safety perspective, PCA has developed this low-cost, easily accessible recorded webcast on embedding child-safe practice in recruitment. The webcast is a condensed, version of PCA’s face-to-face ‘Making Recruitment Child-Safe Training’. The session covers:

• The importance of child-safe practice in recruitment and selection

• Examination of a case study from the Royal Commission, focusing on the Recruitment and Selection shortcomings of the organisation

• 3 Areas of focus during recruitment and selection to embed child safeguarding practice, with examples to improve your process

About PCA’s Child Safeguarding: Situational Crime Prevention Recorded Webcast

Situational Crime Prevention picks up where a Child-Safe Recruitment Process ends and is as important in protecting children and young people from abuse, neglect and exploitation as child-safe recruiting. Preventing unsuitable people from being employed by a child safe organisation is an important strategy, but it needs to be supported by tools, practice and guidelines which reinforce and embed the child safe culture of the organisation to ensure that existing staff and new recruits maintain the best interests of children as the priority. This is where situational crime prevention comes in the practice.

Organisations that have embedded practice informed by situational crime prevention are implementing Principle 7 of the National Principles for Child Safe Organisations. Specifically, the situational crime prevention model contribute to embedding the following Action Areas from Principle 7:

7.1   Staff and volunteer are trained and supported to effectively implement the organisation’s child safety and wellbeing policy
7.2   Staff and volunteer receive training and information to recognise indicators of child harm including harm caused by other children and young people.
