Safeguarding and Safer Recruitment Statement

Our school is fully committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people. We expect all staff, governors and volunteers to share this commitment. The safety, wellbeing and protection of our pupils are at the heart of everything we do.

We follow robust safer recruitment procedures in accordance with the statutory guidance Keeping Children Safe in Education (KCSIE) and other relevant legislation.

As part of our safer recruitment process, we will undertake online searches of shortlisted candidates to identify any publicly available information that may be relevant to their suitability to work with children. Any matters of concern identified through these searches will be considered appropriately and may be discussed with candidates during the recruitment process.

All appointments are subject to satisfactory completion of the necessary pre-employment and safeguarding checks. These may include verification of identity, qualifications, employment history, references, right to work in the UK, and appropriate Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) checks, together with any other checks required for the role. Any offer of employment will be conditional upon these checks being completed satisfactorily.

Where a role involves regulated activity with children, an Enhanced DBS check, including a Children’s Barred List check, will be required. It is a criminal offence for a person who is barred from working with children to apply for a role involving regulated activity with children.

Where applicable, posts are exempt from the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974 under the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974 (Exceptions) Order 1975, as amended. Applicants are required to disclose relevant convictions and cautions in accordance with current legislation and DBS filtering rules. Protected convictions and cautions do not need to be disclosed and will not be taken into account during the recruitment process.

Further information about safeguarding requirements, DBS checks and the disclosure of criminal records can be found in the latest Keeping Children Safe in Education guidance and on the GOV.UK website.

We are committed to promoting equality, diversity and inclusion and welcome applications from all suitably qualified candidates.
