    • a passport-sized photo of the badge holder
    • their name and job title
    • the East Riding of Yorkshire Council logo.

    Visual identification

    When you’re on a school site, you must wear your ID badge where it can be easily seen.

    Wearing your badge lets other staff members know you're an employee and authorised to be there. This helps to keep our working environment safe and secure.

    It is especially important for you to wear your badge if you are representing the school while in the community.

    Your ID badge helps parents, pupils and others:

    • trust that you are who you say you are
    • recognise that you work for the school
    • feel confident in your knowledge, professionalism, and accountability.
