Safeguarding & Compliance

At Academic Achievers Academy, safeguarding, compliance, and professional integrity are fundamental to how we operate. We are fully committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children, young people, and vulnerable adults, and to supporting schools, colleges, and universities with safe, reliable, and compliant education services.

 

Our safeguarding framework aligns with current statutory guidance and recognised best practice across the education sector.

 

Statutory & Regulatory Alignment

 

Our safeguarding and recruitment practices are informed by, and aligned with, relevant guidance, including:

  • Keeping Children Safe in Education (KCSIE)

  • Safer Recruitment guidance

  • The Prevent Duty

  • Equality Act 2010

  • Data Protection and UK GDPR requirements

 

Policies are reviewed regularly to ensure they remain current, compliant, and effective.

 

Our Safeguarding Commitment

 

Academic Achievers Academy recognises its duty of care to all learners and institutions we support. Safeguarding is embedded throughout our organisation and applies to:

  • All employees, contractors, and supply staff

  • All tutoring, staffing, and support services

  • All education settings in which we operate

 

All staff working through us are expected to uphold the highest standards of professional conduct and share responsibility for safeguarding at all times.

 

 

Safer Recruitment & Vetting

 

We operate robust safer recruitment procedures to ensure that only suitable individuals are placed into education settings.

 

All staff supplied by Academic Achievers Academy undergo:

  • Enhanced DBS checks, including barred list checks where appropriate

  • Verification of identity and right to work

  • A minimum of two professional references, including the most recent employer

  • Verification of qualifications and employment history

  • Checks for gaps in employment and suitability to work with children or vulnerable adults

 

No educator or support worker is deployed until all safeguarding checks have been fully completed and recorded.

 

Training & Professional Standards

 

All staff supplied by Academic Achievers Academy receive training appropriate to their role, including:

  • Safeguarding and child protection

  • Prevent Duty awareness

  • Equality, diversity, and inclusion

  • Professional conduct and boundaries

 

Staff are required to familiarise themselves with the safeguarding policies and procedures of the host institution and to act in accordance with those at all times.

 

Working in Partnership With Institutions

 

We work collaboratively with schools, colleges, and universities to ensure safeguarding responsibilities are clearly understood and consistently applied.

 

All staff supplied by us are required to:

  • Follow the safeguarding and child protection procedures of the host institution

  • Report safeguarding concerns immediately to the institution’s Designated Safeguarding Lead (DSL)

  • Escalate concerns internally to Academic Achievers Academy without delay

  • Maintain appropriate professional boundaries at all times

 

Clear communication and shared responsibility underpin our partnership approach.

Any safeguarding, conduct, or compliance concerns are taken seriously, investigated promptly, and escalated appropriately. We maintain a whistleblowing policy that allows concerns to be raised confidentially and without fear of reprisal.
