Kate’s old school in checks rap

THE Duchess of Cambridge’s old school does not carry out necessary safeguarding checks on teachers, a watchdog has found.

An Independent Schools Inspectorate (ISI) report on Marlborough College in Wiltshire found that recruitment checks on staff before they start working were not always carried out, The i newspaper reported.

“When criminal record checks have been delayed the school has not always ensured that an appropriate system of supervision is in place,” the ISI said.

It added that processes for safe recruitment were not “sufficiently robust” to protect pupils

A spokesperson for the school said: “Since our compliance inspection, the college has upgraded the record-keeping processes highlighted in the ISI report.”
