Protecting Every Child.
Every Time.
Safeguarding isn't a compliance checkbox for Edvantro, it's the foundation of everything we do. Every teacher we place meets rigorous safer recruitment standards before they ever enter a classroom.
Safeguarding Statement
Edvantro is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people. We expect all staff, candidates, and partners to share this commitment.
We operate in full compliance with the statutory guidance set out in Keeping Children Safe in Education (KCSIE 2025), Working Together to Safeguard Children (2026), the Prevent Duty, and all relevant legislation including the Children Act 1989 and 2004.
Our Approach to Safer Recruitment
All candidates registered with Edvantro undergo a thorough vetting process before being placed in any school. This is not a one-time exercise, we maintain active oversight of all compliance documentation and require renewals where applicable.
We work closely with schools' Designated Safeguarding Leads (DSLs) to ensure that every placement is appropriate, compliant, and safe. We take seriously our responsibility as an employment business operating in a regulated sector.
Our Designated Safeguarding Lead
Edvantro has a named Designated Safeguarding Lead responsible for overseeing all safeguarding matters within the business. If you have any concerns, questions, or wish to report a matter, please contact us directly.
Full Safeguarding Policy
Our complete safeguarding policy covers safer recruitment, roles and responsibilities, reporting procedures, training requirements, data protection, online safety, and whistleblowing.
SCR-Ready Documentation
We provide schools with all documentation required for SCR compliance from day one of any placement.
Full compliance documentation provided for every teacher placed, ready for your SCR.
We actively manage renewals and alert schools when any documentation requires updating.
All candidate documents are held securely in line with GDPR and data protection requirements.
Our documentation meets all requirements for Ofsted inspection scrutiny of supply staff.
