We are incredibly proud to share that Flourish Education has achieved a 100% score in our APSCo Compliance+ audit for the fifth year in a row. This outstanding result reflects our unwavering commitment to safeguarding, quality assurance, and excellence in education recruitment across the West Midlands.
As a specialist education recruitment agency, safeguarding is at the heart of everything we do. APSCo’s Compliance+ standard goes above and beyond statutory safeguarding requirements, setting the benchmark for best practice in our sector. To consistently achieve full marks places us among a select few agencies nationwide, and underlines our commitment to delivering the highest standards for the schools and candidates we serve.
This year’s success is once again a testament to the dedication and diligence of our internal compliance team. A special thanks must go to Toni Pike, our Compliance Manager, whose leadership continues to uphold our rigorous safeguarding processes. Toni, along with the support of Courtney, Hayley, Hina, and Wesclaury, ensures every candidate placed in a school through Flourish has been vetted to standards beyond the Department for Education’s Keeping Children Safe in Education guidance.
What 100% APSCo Compliance Means for Schools and Candidates
For schools, our Compliance+ accreditation means complete confidence that all candidates have passed a thorough and consistent safeguarding process, from face-to-face video interviews to full vetting and training, including KCSIE, Prevent, and FGM modules. It’s also a major factor behind why we’re a named supplier on the Crown Commercial Service’s Supply Teachers and Temporary Staff in Educational Establishments framework, further demonstrating our commitment to best practice, transparency, and trust.
For our candidates, this achievement reflects our integrity and professionalism. When you join Flourish Education, you’re joining an agency that puts your safety, development, and long-term success first.
Maintaining High Standards in Safeguarding
Achieving 100% for the fifth consecutive year is more than a milestone; it’s a reminder of why we do what we do. We believe that success is achieved as a collective, and we will continue to raise the bar in safeguarding and education recruitment across Birmingham and the wider West Midlands.
To the schools, academies, nurseries, and candidates we support every day, thank you for trusting us.
