Information on Recruitment Checks

DBS Check

The school is legally obligated to process an enhanced Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) check before making appointments to relevant posts.

All posts involving direct contact with children are exempt from the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974. The amendments to the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974 (Exceptions) Order 1975 (2013 and 2020) provides that when applying for certain jobs and activities, certain convictions and cautions are considered ‘protected’. This means that they do not need to be disclosed to employers, and if they are disclosed, employers cannot take them into account.

Guidance about whether a conviction or caution should be disclosed can be found on the Ministry of Justice website and here.

More information about what will be filtered and will not appear on a DBS certificate can be found here. 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.

For posts in regulated activity, the DBS check will include a barred list check. It is a criminal offence to apply or accept a position (paid or unpaid) working with children in regulated activity if you are excluded from such work by virtue of a court order or exclusions by the DBS.

Any data processed as part of the DBS check will be processed in accordance with any relevant data protection regulations and the school’s privacy notice.

Criminal Record Self Disclosure

You may be asked for further information about your criminal history during the recruitment process. We will not ask for any criminal records information unless you are shortlisted for interview. If your application is successful, this self-disclosure information will be checked against information from the Disclosure & Barring Service before your appointment is confirmed. Any convictions shared by self-declaration or those listed on a DBS check will be considered on a case-by-case basis.

Overseas Checks

If you’ve lived or worked outside of the UK for 12 months or more in the last 10 years, the school will require additional information in order to comply with ‘safer recruitment’ requirements. If you answer ‘yes’ to the question below, we will contact you for additional information in due course.

Teacher Prohibition Order and Teacher Sanctions

We will check for Prohibition Orders and Interim Prohibition Orders for teacher applicants or positions carrying out “teaching work”. Further information on teacher misconduct can be found at: https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/teacher-misconduct We will check for sanctions imposed by the GTCE (prior to its abolition in 2012). You will be required to disclose if you are subject to any sanctions relating to work with children in any country outside the UK. If you have worked in an EEA member state you will be required to provide proof of your past conduct as a teacher. This should be a letter of professional standing issued by the professional regulating authority in the country in which you have worked.

Section 128 direction

We will check for Secretary of State Section 128 prohibition from management directions for all applicants for management positions within school.

Right to Work in the UK

The school will require you to provide evidence of your right to work in the UK in accordance with the Immigration, Asylum and Nationality Act 2006. By signing this application, you agree to provide such evidence when requested. Any job offer will be conditional on the satisfactory completion of all necessary pre-employment checks, including those as set out in Keeping Children Safe in Education.
