Hi, I am looking for some guidance or literature to read in relation to HR in a school environment. I have worked in the corporate world of HR for many years,  but after a career break retrained to work in careers. I have been asked if I could support the Head in relation to HR matters. I am aware that schools are quite different to the previous environments I have worked in. If anyone has tips, literature or resources they would be able to suggest, they would be gratefully received. Many thanks.

    This is a little late but I work for a charity for adults that also has a school - I recommend the NSPCC's Safer Recruitment in Education E-Learning and any safeguarding training as well.

    I spent 15 years in HR in schools. The Single Central Register of Appointments is one of the main HR headaches in schools! As a school can fail an inspection if not compliant in this area it is really important to understand what has to be included. If you are in the independent sector I thoroughly recommend you read the Commentary on the Regulatory Requirements from the Independent Schools Inspectorate (ISI). Section 4 - Suitability of staff is the bible on safe recruitment! Back this up with Keeping Children Safe in Education (KCSIE), which is also relevant.

    Hi Jessica,

    I am looking to establish contact with HR schools networks- I appreciate this is an old post but is the network still going?

    Thanks
