Childcare disqualification regulations

For more detailed information on the Childcare Disqualification Regulations and the staff and volunteers to whom they apply, please refer to the Safeguarding in Employment pages linked below. (KCSiE 263-267)

The SCR template can be used to add discretionary sections where schools wish to do so.  Examples include:

• recording of references received – whilst obtaining and checking references is a vital part of safer recruitment for staff and volunteers it is not mandatory to record this information on the SCR. However, a column can be added if required.  There is no requirement to obtain references for Governors although may wish to do so as part of “good practice.”
• evidence of safeguarding training undertaken.
