Our REC Audit credentials and what it means for schools and candidates

Setting the Standard in Safeguarding

At Tradewind Recruitment, safeguarding is at the heart of everything we do. We recognise the unique needs of schools across the UK in sourcing trusted, qualified staff who support pupils while upholding the highest standards of safety and professionalism.

This commitment is now reinforced by a clear mark of excellence:

We are proud to have achieved a 100% pass rate in our recent Recruitment & Employment Confederation (REC) Diagnostic as a part of our REC Education Audit, demonstrating the strength of our compliance standards, safeguarding procedures, recruitment systems and industry knowledge.

What is the REC?

 

The Recruitment & Employment Confederation (REC) is the UK’s leading professional body for recruitment.

As the guardian of industry standards since 1930, the REC represents a vast network of agencies and consistently raises the bar through its Code of Professional Practice.

Being audited by the REC and earning a perfect score is more than a credential.

It’s a powerful indicator that:

  • You can count on us to deliver ethical, transparent, and compliant recruitment services.
  • We are independently verified in areas such as safeguarding, compliance checks, and candidate suitability. Every time.
  • We are fully aligned with recruitment best practices and support the safety and well-being of your school community.
