Enhanced DBS and barred-list check
A teacher or TA cannot receive shifts until an Enhanced DBS check with Children’s Barred List is recorded as clear.
For schools and staff
No shift offers until every required check is clear
Teachers and TAs can see exactly what they must complete. Schools can see the recorded outcomes before a placement, without treating a badge as a substitute for their own safeguarding decision.
Identity and right to work
RecruitCrew checks identity and right-to-work evidence before any matching begins.
A confirmation for each placement
When a shift is filled, the school can view a record showing that the required checks were clear before the booking.
The school still makes the final decision
These records support the school’s checks. They do not replace its own safer-recruitment process or KCSIE responsibilities.
What the school must still do
The school decides whether a person is suitable for its setting and remains responsible for statutory safeguarding, supervision, identity confirmation and safer recruitment. Using RecruitCrew alone does not satisfy Keeping Children Safe in Education.
