Our REC Membership
Recruitment you can trust
SENDhelp Education Limited is proud to be an approved Corporate Member of the Recruitment & Employment Confederation (REC), the professional body for the UK recruitment industry.
REC membership is more than a logo. It means we have satisfied the REC’s membership criteria and have committed to operating in accordance with its Code of Professional Practice, which sets clear standards for ethical, responsible and professional recruitment.
For our schools, candidates and workers, it provides additional reassurance that SENDhelp is committed to doing recruitment properly.
What does this mean for our clients?
When you work with SENDhelp, you can expect us to:
- operate honestly, transparently and in accordance with relevant recruitment legislation
- provide clear and accurate information throughout the recruitment process
- maintain high professional standards and appropriately trained recruitment staff
- treat candidates fairly, with dignity and respect
- take safeguarding, safety and compliance seriously
- protect confidential information and personal data
- maintain clear records and recruitment processes
- promote fair, ethical and inclusive recruitment practices
For schools and other organisations placing individuals into SEND and specialist education settings, these standards complement the robust safeguarding and compliance processes that form a core part of the SENDhelp service.
What does this mean for candidates?
Our REC membership also gives candidates and temporary workers assurance about the standards they can expect from us.
We are committed to:
- treating you honestly, fairly and with respect
- giving you clear information about assignments, including the work involved, pay and relevant conditions
- ensuring that your pay is processed promptly and accurately
- protecting your personal and confidential information
- obtaining the appropriate consent or other lawful basis before sharing personal information
- supporting equality of opportunity and avoiding unlawful discrimination
- acting responsibly where health, safety or safeguarding concerns arise
An ongoing commitment
REC membership is not simply a one-off assessment. REC members are expected to continue meeting the standards of the Code of Professional Practice, and the REC requires members to undertake a regular compliance test covering the Code and legislation relevant to the recruitment industry.
Our membership therefore reflects an ongoing commitment by SENDhelp to high standards, continuous improvement and professional accountability.
