After reviewing current regulation and behaviours, we conclude that a frailty is built into KCSIE, Safeguarding and Safer Recruitment obligations. That frailty concerns referencing.

What to do about Job Postings from your ATS TES now requires schools and other educators to post their jobs by hand.
