Introducing Sentry
The guidance on Safer Recruitment and the management of the Single Central Record is very detailed and can be very complex to follow.
Practitioners find it challenging to keep up to date with the guidance and managing these critical safeguarding processes on paper is no longer efficient or effective.
Sentry for Safer Recruitment provides an easy to follow workflow for all of the critical recruitment checks that schools need to complete before appointing someone as a member of staff, volunteer or school governor.

This approach is under-pinned by our comprehensive safeguarding knowledge and expertise ensuring that the system has been designed to put the protection of children and young people first.
