We’re Here to Strengthen School Workforces
An APSCo Compliance+ accredited workforce partner raising safeguarding and quality standards across education.
Compliance + isn’t a badge, it’s the benchmark we hold ourselves to.
At Progress Teachers, compliance has never been an afterthought. It has shaped the way we build relationships, support educators, and partner with schools since day one.
Being recognised as a Compliance+ accredited workforce partner reflects our commitment to delivering safer, more consistent and higher-quality workforce solutions for schools, MATs, early years settings, SEN provisions and alternative provisions.
For us, compliance is more than a requirement, it’s the foundation of trust we build with every school, every candidate, and every pupil we support.
What is APSCo Compliance +?
The highest standard of safeguarding and quality in the education workforce sector.
APSCo’s Compliance+ standard sets an uncompromising benchmark for:
Safer Recruitment
Competency Checks
Ethical Practice
Service Quality
Compliance+ goes far beyond statutory safeguarding requirements, ensuring schools work with a partner who does things properly, consistently, and transparently.
Every year, we undergo an independent on-site audit carried out by trained professionals to verify that our safeguarding, vetting, documentation, quality processes and candidate care meet the highest possible standard.
Compliance+ is recognised within Crown Commercial Service education frameworks, confirming that we operate with exceptional levels of quality and consistency.
What Compliance + Means for Schools
This isn’t transactional recruitment, it’s workforce support that strengthens your whole school community.
Confidence in Every Candidate
Every educator we supply is vetted to the highest safeguarding standard, through a rigorous, independently audited Compliance+ process. You receive complete clarity, transparency and trust in every placement.
A Partner for Your Workforce
As a partner for your workforce, Compliance+ means more than meeting requirements. We go beyond basic checks to build meaningful relationships with our candidates, using tools such as video interviews to understand who they are and how they align with your school’s culture and values. This ensures we place the right people, in the right roles, with longevity in mind.
Safer, More Consistent Staffing
Our safeguarding-first approach reduces disruption, supports retention and strengthens continuity for pupils, giving your school reliable, high-quality support.
Ethical, People-First Practice
Compliance+ ensures you’re working with a partner who prioritises child safety, ethical conduct and positive outcomes for your whole school community above everything else.
What Compliance+ Means for Educators & Candidates
You deserve the same level of safeguarding, transparency and support as the schools you work in. Compliance+ ensures you get it.
Fair, Transparent Vetting
We follow a transparent, independently audited process to ensure every candidate is treated fairly, consistently, and professionally at every stage of vetting.
Clear communication, no last-minute surprises and every document checked rigorously but respectfully
You always know where you stand.
Roles That Match Your Skills & Goals
Competency checks help us place you in schools where you can genuinely thrive, not just “any role available.”
We look at: your strengths, your experience and your long-term aspirations.
So you’re placed somewhere that feels right, not random.
Ongoing Support, Not Just Placement
Compliance+ requires ongoing service quality, meaning we stay in touch, check in, and support you long after you start.
This includes: regular wellbeing checks, behaviour & safeguarding support, transparent feedback loops and guidance with career progression
You’re never left feeling alone in a school.
Ethical, People-First Practice
We don’t cut corners, oversell roles, or push you into unsuitable environments.
Compliance+ ensures you’re working with a partner who prioritises: your safety, your wellbeing, your long-term success and your right to ethical treatment
This is recruitment done properly, with integrity.
