It expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. Successful candidates will be expected to follow school safeguarding procedures and promote the welfare of students.

Applicants will be required to undergo child protection screening appropriate to the post, including checks with past employers. As this post is considered a ‘regulated activity’, a check through the Disclosure and Barring Service, including the children’s barred list, will be made. Shortlisted candidates should be aware that the school may conduct online searches as part of our due diligence process. Successful applicants must be familiar with and comply with policies and procedures relating to safeguarding, child protection and promoting the welfare of students.

The post is exempt from the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974, and the School is therefore permitted to ask job applicants to declare all convictions and cautions (including those which are “spent” unless they are “protected” under the DBS filtering rules; see https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/dbs-filtering-guidance) in order to assess their suitability to work with children.
