Templates are now available through the code of practice assessment. If your school management file is up to date and you just want a specific template or to arrange a revalidation visit please get in touch with the Quality Development Advice Team or call 020 7697 4053.
Once your organisation can confirm that all the above documents are up to date and understood by staff, volunteers, pupils and parents (as appropriate) you can ask for Quality Recognition. It is essential that you have the solid foundation of good governance first. The School Management File should include all of the basic policies and procedures expected in an organisation delivering activities to children. If you would like NRCSE to visit your school please complete the safeguarding standard quiz, upload your policies and procedures so we can check them and we will get in touch. Where we are funded to work we can visit you free of charge, if not you will need to pay a fee to cover the costs of a registered NRCSE mentor. They will visit your school, observe classes and go through your management file. An observation report will give you detailed feedback, highlighting good practice and giving suggestions for development.
We aim to provide guidance and samples where possible for schools. NRCSE members have free access to the online self-assessment tool, the manual ‘How to deliver quality supplementary education’ telephone/email support and a wide range of template and example documents, including those listed above.
