PHRP Personal Values Model for Schools
People Management
Values are the guiding principles for an individual and an organisation. Values provide a purpose and identify what we care about. Values influence actions, behaviours and decisions. The PHRP Personal Values Model sets out nine core values linked to Teachers’ Standards, together with defined behaviours for individuals and organisations to aspire to; ultimately creating a high performing organisation.
The model illustrates how the values enable what a school does, how it is done and most importantly why it is done; to improve outcomes for young people.
Each of the values is defined, has identified behaviours and is supported by examples of work evidence relevant to different roles in school, so colleagues can demonstrate how they model the values.
Personal values and behaviours set out:
-
how we do things
-
what we say and how we say it
-
how we treat our colleagues and stakeholders
The aim is for the values and identified behaviours to become an integral part of day to day school life. Defined values provide clarity and focus by identifying how we can all achieve excellence.
The PHRP Values Model can be used to support your recruitment and selection activity, for managing performance and as part of restructuring processes.

We provide both one day accredited training for those new to being involved in school or academy recruitment and a half day refresher for those who have completed the accredited training before.
Safer Recruitment Training - Full Day
This training meets the statutory requirement for a member of the recruitment panel to be trained in Safer Recruitment.
Focusing on how to:
-
help deter
-
reject
-
prevent individuals
who are unsuitable to work with young people.
This certificated course provides you with recruitment and selection best practice guidance and comprehensive reference materials.
Safer Recruitment Refresher Training - Half Day

Both sessions have practical elements and include case study examples.
Pre-Employment Checking Workshop
Once you have selected the best candidate to work with you, it is critical to ensure there is nothing preventing them from working with the young people you have a duty to safeguard. Governed by statutory guidance and inspected by Ofsted, your pre-employment checking processes must be technically correct and thorough.
The list of required checks has grown in recent years and the guidance for ensuring you request the relevant documents and check them in the correct way is also increasing.
PHRP offers this practical workshop to ensure your organisation is compliant and your processes are robust.
It is our aim for you to understand:
-
what pre-employment checks need to be completed
-
what documents are acceptable for particular checks
-
the information you need to check on the documents to satisfy the statutory guidance
-
issues to look out for which need to be flagged up
-
the retention and recording of documentation and information including best practice on your Single Central Record
This session is supported by a comprehensive set of useful checklist templates to aid management of the process and can be run in-house for MATs or groups or schools.
Safer Recruitment - Pre-Employment Checking Review and On-site Coaching
Compliance with safer recruitment statutory guidance is critical, not only to ensure you protect young people but also to organisational success. Ofsted will inspect your pre-employment vetting and checking processes, and the new General Data Protection Regulation brings greater responsibility to process personal data in accordance with its principles.
We offer schools and academies a quality assurance review on your pre-employment checking process assessing how you meet the current requirements and what improvements, if any, could make your process more robust.
The review includes:
-
One full day on-site visit
-
Review an agreed sample of your personnel files against the SCR
-
Identification of compliance issues
-
Advice on safer recruitment pre-employment checks
-
Assessment of whether identity documents are being checked and verified in accordance with the guidance
-
Document retention check and best practice advice
-
Provision of safer recruitment checklists
