Please refer to the school's safeguarding policy which can be found on the school website. 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 would 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 the main social networking sites, including Instagram and Facebook.
The school is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people. It expects all staff and volunteers to share the same commitment. This position is subject to an enhanced DBS check.
