International · your country's child-safety check

Interview & Reference Kit

What to ask, what to check and who to call before you hand someone the keys and your children.

What's included

  • First Conversation Guide — the ten-minute phone screen, with the five answers that end a call politely
  • Interview Question Set — themed, built on scenario questions, because "are you good with children?" reveals nothing
  • Reference Call Script — who to ring, the eleven questions in order, and the two that actually get an honest answer
  • Trial Day Plan and Observation Sheet — a paid trial day, planned in advance and watched properly
  • Checks and Documents Checklist — ID, right to work, licence, first aid, and your country's safeguarding check: which one, who may apply for it, and what you have to write
  • Shortlist and Decision Sheet — candidates side by side against what you said mattered before you met anyone
  • Every document in editable Word format and as a PDF — twelve files in all

Who it's for

  • You are about to interview someone who will be alone with your children.
  • You have been told to "ask for a police check" and nobody has told you which one, or who is allowed to apply for it.
  • You have a written reference in your hand and a feeling that it is not enough.
  • You have hired before, it went wrong, and you would like to know at which step.
