We are delighted to have been awarded the Quality Mark accreditation with 100% compliance for the third successive year! We are proud of the fact that we were one of the first agencies to receive Quality Mark and this is our 7th successive year of accreditation.
The Quality Mark was launched in July 2002, as a joint initiative between the Department for Children, Schools and Families (DfE) and the Recruitment and Employment Confederation (REC) to help drive up standards for everyone in the sector. The Quality Mark sets minimum standards for agencies and LAs to reach, in areas such as the way they recruit and interview supply teachers, how they check and manage their performance and the way they stay at the forefront of changes in the teaching sector.
The main objectives of the Quality Mark are:
- To recognise private sector supply agencies and LAs who are able to demonstrate that they meet standards of good practice in managing and providing supply teachers for schools
- To enable schools and temporary teachers to feel confident about the quality of the agencies and LAs with whom they are dealing
- To raise the standard and status of supply teaching; and
- To recognise the contributions made by supply teachers, agencies and LAs in supporting schools.
Celsian are proud to be members of the Recruitment and Employment Confederation and be ISO 9001:2000 certified.
