Compliance+ Social Work

Compliance+ Social Work is the best practice quality standard for recruitment businesses and compels members to go beyond statutory safeguarding standards and aim for excellence in competency, selection and service quality. This was developed alongside Compliance+ Education and more recently Compliance+ Clinical & Healthcare to provide an uncompromising quality benchmark for Education, Social Work and Clinical & Healthcare recruitment companies. 

The Compliance+ accreditation process is administered by APSCo. However, audits are undertaken by independent professional auditors that specialise in auditing situations where the safeguarding of vulnerable people is involved.

There are seven steps to becoming accredited to Compliance: 

The APSCo Standards Committee ensures that the Compliance+ standard remains relevant, appropriate and provides governance of the audit process for the standard.

The committee plays a critical role in making sure that the Compliance+ strategy and business plans are focused on the needs of members and support compliance of the recruitment profession. 

Permanent members of the committee include APSCo, our Independent Auditors and Keith Rosser as Chair.
