Mandate educational settings to ensure staff awareness of harassment policies and conduct background checks.
Recommendation
The OfS should also require educational settings to ensure that all staff, permanent, temporary and those visiting, are aware of policies around abuse and harassment, including the consequences of inappropriate behaviour. People invited to teach students should undergo background and reference checks and be in no doubt of expectations with regard to conduct. Eminent musicians should not be exempt from these safeguarding duties. (Recommendation, Paragraph 75)
