Hi all
I work in an FE college.
We are looking to occasionally hire very casual staff, such as outside exam assessors to assist auditing our exam processes, and student ambassadors who might help out with open days at the college. They want to be paid via payroll so they would be employed.
They might only work once or twice a year, if that, but as we have students from 14+ we are required to have regard to KCSIE - my question is, if we ensure these staff are supervised, technically they are not in regulated activity, and we could treat them as 'visitors'. But as they will be on the payroll, does this mean that they have to go on the SCR and that all the pre-engagement checks have to be carried out.
We are hoping to find a process whereby we can take these staff on, on a one-off basis and pay them through payroll, without having to go through all the pre-engagement checks, as they will be supervised on site.
How do other colleges/schools handle this area and these type of staff?
Thanks in advance!
