What is Zen Educate and Zen Vetting

What is Zen Educate?

Zen Educate is transforming education by making it easier for schools to connect with teachers and teaching assistants through our online platform and app. Since 2016, we’ve helped schools in the UK and US save £25M by eliminating agency fees, offering a low-cost, efficient way to book supply staff. 

We started Zen to raise safeguarding standards in education. Our vetting procedures are regularly audited by the DfE to ensure compliance with the CCS Framework, allowing us to place high-quality teachers and support staff quickly and safely into classrooms where they’re needed.

What is Zen Vetting?

Zen Vetting is our cloud-based platform that simplifies compliance, ensuring all employees meet Keeping Children Safe and Safer Recruitment standards. With a centralised dashboard, Senior Leadership Teams (SLT) can easily manage and track the Single Central Record (SCR), filling gaps, tracking progress, and creating audit trails.

Benefits of Zen Vetting:

Save time

Drive operational and financial efficiencies by reducing administrative tasks for school leaders, allowing them to focus on critical school improvement initiatives.

Reduce risk

Quickly identify gaps in SCR compliance and take action, eliminating reliance on a single person to maintain standards.

Improve compliance

Centralise all essential information, including critical documents, notes, and SCR spot checks, for peace of mind.

Zen Vetting works best on desktop, though it’s also accessible via mobile browsers. If you manage vetting on the go, let us know, and we’ll work on mobile op
