Be confident in outstanding staff from Outstanding Education Solutions

Outstanding Education Solutions Ltd is a highly professional agency that is bespoke to Herefordshire. The strong working relationship that is forged between OES and its schools means we’ll tailor placements to your specific school’s requirements. OES are here to offer you the very best teachers and support staff possible. Through strict vetting at registration and offering training courses to enhance knowledge of our teaching and support staff, your school can trust and be confident in what OES has to offer.

To assist schools in meeting DCFS, DFE, OFSTED and LEA safeguarding requirements, our compliance and quality assurance team will confirm with you that the following checks are completed on OES staff once they have attended a face-to-face interview by a Safer Recruitment-trained member of staff:

  • TRN check
  • Prohibition from Teaching check.

Other compliance checks:

  • Identity check
  • Two satisfactory references
  • Qualification check
  • Address check
  • Eligibility to work in the UK
  • Visa expiry and restrictions (at dates where applicable).

These checks are in accordance with the Employment Agencies and Employment Business Regulations 2003 (Conduct Regulations) and are carried out before Outstanding Education Solutions introduces a candidate to a school.  As a member of the REC (Recruitment and Employment Confederation) OES are updated regularly with any statutory guidance and/or changes.

When you make a booking

If you need to arrange cover this can be done over the telephone, by email or by text. Once a member of staff has been placed into your booking a confirmation email will be sent. An example can be found here.

Safeguarding training and CPD

Safeguarding is of paramount importance to OES.  Annual comprehensive safeguarding training is offered at the start of every academic year with the expectation that all staff attend. This training is delivered by an external training company specialising in safeguarding. If this training is missed, alternative comprehensive training will be offered through an online course.

Throughout the year (where possible) further courses are offered to OES staff. This includes behavioural management, SPaG and, equality and diversity in education.

Misconduct

Any allegation or concern regarding an OES staff member should be reported to your consultant as soon as possible. All information will be dealt with professionally and sensitively with appropriate action taken, including referrals to relevant bodies such as LADO where necessary.
