Safer Recruitment:

All posts involving direct contact with children are exempt from the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974. However, amendments to the Exceptions Order 1975 (2013 & 2020) provide that certain spent convictions and cautions are 'protected'. These are not subject to disclosure to employers and cannot be taken into account. Guidance and criteria on the filtering of these cautions and convictions can be found on the Ministry of Justice website. Shortlisted candidates will be asked to provide details of all unspent convictions and those that would not be filtered prior to the date of the interview. Candidates may be asked for further information about their criminal history during the recruitment process. If your application is successful, this self‑disclosure information will be checked against information from the Disclosure & Barring Service before your appointment is confirmed. If you are unsure whether you need to disclose criminal information, you should seek legal advice or you may wish to contact Nacro or Unlock for impartial advice. Kido is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of all children. Kido will ensure that our recruitment procedures meet the standards set out in our safer recruitment policy (available upon request) and our selection criteria prevent unsuitable people from gaining access to children. Successful candidates are expected to undergo pre‑employment checks including an enhanced DBS and barred lists check.
