Notice required and / or date available if appointed

Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974 (Exemptions) Order 1975

This post is covered by the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974 (Exceptions) Order 1975 because it is a post which involves working directly with children or young people. If shortlisted for interview you are therefore required to declare whether you have any criminal convictions (or cautions or bind-overs) including those which are ‘spent’. The amendments to the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974 (Exceptions) Order 1975 (2013 and 2020) provide 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 and criteria on the filtering of these cautions and convictions can be found on the Disclosure and Barring Service website: https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/dbs-filtering-guidance

Do you have any unspent convictions, cautions, warnings or bind-overs, from any Country, that are not "protected" as defined by the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974 (Exceptions) Order 1975 (as amended in 2013) and/or are you the subject of a current police investigation or have criminal proceedings pending against you?

Yes

Are you on the Children’s Barred List (previously List 99 and PoCA list) or have you ever been disqualified from working with children or been subject to any sanctions imposed by a regulatory body (e.g. National College for Teaching & Leadership)?

Yes

Have you ever been the subject of a child protection concern which was substantiated, and/or disciplined for the same?

Yes

It is a criminal offence for barred or disqualified individuals to seek, or to undertake, work with children. If you have answered ‘YES’ to any of the above, please provide further details on a separate sheet in a sealed envelope marked ‘CONFIDENTIAL’. We do not require you to submit this with your application pack. However, if you are invited to interview you MUST bring this with you and provide it to the interview panel.

Have you lived outside of the UK for a period of 3 months or more within the last 5 years

If you have lived outside the United Kingdom (UK) for a period of more than 3 months within the last 5 years, while aged 18 or over you will be required to undergo a police check from that country to cover that period, in addition to the enhanced DBS check. We would not expect this to be applied for until after the position is offered. This would be at a cost to the applicant and will not be reimbursed

Yes

If yes, please specify below the country and dates spent there:

Do you have any professional or personal connection with a member of our staff, or are you a current parent of a student at our school?

Yes

If Yes, please state the nature of relationship and the name of person at the school.

Medical Clearance - All successful applicants are required to complete a pre-employment medical questionnaire.

Further information

• If your application is successful, prior to taking up your post, you will be required to undergo a Formal Disclosure process through the Disclosure and Barring Service. This will require you to complete a separate DBS application form and to provide a range of more than one piece of documentary evidence of your identity. • Although a criminal record involving offences against children is likely to debar you from appointment of this type of post, the existence of other criminal convictions will not necessarily be a bar to employment unless other restrictions are in place through the Children’s Barred List, DBS or Teacher Regulation Agency. • Any criminal record information arising out of the disclosure process will be discussed with you before any final decision is made about your employment. • It is a criminal offence to apply for or accept a position (paid or unpaid) working with children if you are excluded from such work by virtue of a court order or exclusion by the DBS. • A copy of the Criminal History (DBS) and Non-Police Personnel Vetting Checks Policy is available on request. • Criminal record certificates will only be issued directly to the applicant. The Local Authority/your employer will request that you show them your certificate and will record the Disclosure number and issue date and retain this on your personnel record and on its computerised personnel record system in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation 2016 and Data Protection Act 2018 (the Data Protection Legislation). The school and Local Authority abide by the DBS Code of Practice and Keeping Children Safe in Education which state that a copy of the DBS Disclosure Certificate may only be retained with the permission of the applicant and shall not be retained for longer than 6 months, in order to comply with the requirements of the Data Protection Legislation.

Declaration

I hereby confirm that the information I have given above is true.

Yes

I understand that, should any of the particulars I provide in this application be found to be false within my knowledge, or should there be any wilful omission of material fact, this may be reported to the Police as well as leading to my application being rejected or the contract being null and void if I have already been appointed.

Yes
