Recruitment Checks

The Headteacher and The Governing Body of Chosen Hill School are committed to safeguarding and
promoting the welfare of children and young people and expects all staff and volunteers to share
this commitment. 

We require all new employees to complete an enhanced level criminal background check through
the Disclosure and Barring Service. It is a condition of employment that the employee should not
have been convicted of a criminal offence against children, nor have been dismissed, or resigned
from, a previous employer for misconduct of a similar nature. Having a criminal record is not
necessarily a bar to employment; it will depend on the nature, circumstances and background to the
offence.

As part of our due diligence within safer recruitment, school will be carrying out online searches to
help identify any incidents or issues which may need to be explored at interview. These searches will
include, but will not be limited to, Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and Google.
