Education: Vetting
Asked by: Lord Bradley (Labour - Life peer) Tuesday 1st April 2025 Question to the Department for Education: To ask His Majesty's Government what restrictions are placed on people convicted of a criminal offence who seek employment in education. Answered by Baroness Smith of Malvern - Minister of State (Minister for Women and Equalities) The government has a robust safeguarding framework in place in the form of the ‘Keeping children safe in education’ (KCSIE) statutory guidance, which all schools and colleges must have regard to when carrying out their duties to safeguard and promote the welfare of children. The KCSIE guidance can be accessed at: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/keeping-children-safe-in-education--2. This guidance clearly sets out the requirements regarding safer recruitment checks, including Disclosure and Barring Service checks, that schools and colleges should undertake for all staff, including external staff, and visitors, to ensure appropriate safeguarding measures are in place. Employers must assess whether a conviction deems an individual to be suitable for a role, taking into account the nature of the offence, its relevance to the role and any safeguarding risks. However, KCSIE stresses the importance of creating a culture of safer recruitment, ensuring that schools and colleges have robust processes and policies in place to ensure people who might pose a risk to children are not employed in education.

Asked by: Lord Bradley (Labour - Life peer) Tuesday 13th May 2025 Question to the Department of Health and Social Care: To ask His Majesty's Government how many speech and language therapists are employed in each integrated care board area in England, and how many of these work in criminal justice settings. Answered by Baroness Merron - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department of Health and Social Care) The Department does not hold information on the total number of speech and language therapists employed in each integrated care board area in England. Therapists will be employed by National Health Service trusts, where data is held, but will also be directly employed by other providers, including schools, local authorities, and third sector or charitable organisations, for which data is not held centrally. The following table shows the number of full time equivalent (FTE) speech and language therapists employed by NHS trusts and integrated care boards in England, as of January 2025, by integrated care board area:
These staff will provide services in a range of settings, but the Department does not hold information on how many may work in criminal justice settings. |
