Preparing to use the DCSF Schools Recruitment Service (Part 1)

Following on from the information supplied in MI Sheet 128/09, we are pleased to tell you that we have now completed our Local Authority training for this new service. We are now in a position to invite you to let us know if you would like to be able to start preparing to use this service in order that we can start setting up school users with usernames and passwords.
Initially we will need the full name and email address of the person you intend to have overall control of the system in your school.

You may be aware that at the recent Cluster Chairs Meeting the feeling of those Headteachers present was that they did not have the capacity to send one representative from each cluster for face-to-face training on how to use this service and instead preferred an electronic guide to using the system. Accordingly after we have set up a 'super user' for interested schools we will supply you with the necessary electronic guides and telephone helpline numbers. We will also be offering two separate half-day training sessions at the Norwich PDC on Monday, 25 January (1pm - 4pm) & Monday, 8 February (1pm - 4pm) to support schools as they approach the start of the main recruitment period.

If you would like to be able to start preparing to use this service please email the full name and email address of the person you intend to have overall control of the system in your school to liz.buckland@norfolk.gov.uk titled 'SRS School Super User' no later than November 6th.
