Eteach, the UKís teacher recruitment website, has confirmed today, in the wake of the recent Ofsted report, its own comprehensive process for vetting the background of supply teachers. The Ofsted report made clear that all schools needed to keep proper records to demonstrate that checks had been carried out.
Eteachís CEO, Paul Howells welcomed the report and commented, ëWe believe our accreditation process is one of the most rigorous in the country. Thanks to our online supply teacher management software we are able to record the checks as they are made and produce reports confirming our actions at the touch of a button. These reports are available on demand to schools and LEAs using our system. Our CRB renewals are alarmed so that no teacher can slip through the net and furthermore, we can reassure parents and schools that all of our supply teachers have been subject to the following checks since the service was started three years ago:
* Full enhanced CRB disclosure
* Qualification Verification
* Employment History Check
* Personal ID Verification
* General Teaching Council Check
* Health Check
* 2 Professional References
ëCRB disclosures are obtained every two years and any breaks in employment over three months trigger checks on our system. Eteach currently has more than 4,000 fully accredited and vetted teachers in its online supply teacher pools.í Concluded Howells.
