Core candidate checks

Know what has been checked before a candidate enters your school.

Requirements vary by role, setting and employment route. Senovo provides clear status information and identifies any material limitation before placement.

Does “vetted” mean every candidate is automatically suitable?

No. Compliance is necessary, but suitability also depends on the role, setting, pupil needs, interview and school decision.

Do you make automated safeguarding decisions?

No. Technology can structure information, but recruitment and clearance decisions remain human-led.

Can a school request additional checks?

Yes. Tell the team about setting-specific requirements when placing the vacancy.
