In partnership with online nanny finder Nannyjob, BAPN has developed ‘The Code’, a framework for best practice in the online recruitment and sourcing of nannies, with the aim of promoting and ensuring the safety of nannies, their employers and their families.
Nanny agencies and online specialist nanny websites featuring jobs from either parents or agencies can download a copy of the code online, and signatories can display a free downloadable banner on their website and social media platforms to demonstrate they are working within it.
BAPN and Nannyjob created the code in response to research published by SAFERjobs, a Government-backed non-profit organisation policing criminal activities in the recruitment industry, which found job adverts posted on social media platforms were the least trusted by job seekers.
