Employment checks for the safeguarding of children

We are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children, young people and vulnerable adults and we expect all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. Successful applicants will receive the Safeguarding Policy that outlines the duties and responsibilities of the employer and all employees.

The Trust is required under the law and guidance to check the criminal background of all employees. Decisions to appoint will be subject to consideration of an enhanced disclosure from the Disclosure and Barring Service. Because of the nature of the work for which you are applying, this post is exempt from the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974 (Exceptions) Order 175 (as amended in 2013). The amendments to the Exception Order 1975 (2013) provide that certain spent convictions and cautions are ‘protected’ and are not subject to disclosure to employers and cannot be taken into account. Further guidance on ‘protected’ convictions and cautions can be found at https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/dbs-filtering-guidance

You will be required to disclose on a separate form all information about any convictions in a Court of Law or any cautions that are not protected, so that a police check can carried out if you are offered an appointment. If you are subsequently employed by the Trust and it is found that you failed to disclose any previous convictions or cautions, this could result in dismissal, or disciplinary action being taken by the Trust. During the course of your employment with the Trust, should you be arrested by the police you are obliged to notify the CEO of this immediately (even if de-arrested or all charges dropped). Failure to do so could result in disciplinary action being taken which could result in dismissal. All information will be treated in confidence and will only be considered in relation to any application for posts for which the exemption order applies.

Please answer the following questions.

Do you have any convictions, cautions, reprimands or final warnings that are not ‘protected’ as defined by the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1975 (Exceptions) Order 175 (as amended in 2013)?

Yes

Have you ever received a caution?

Yes

Do you have any convictions, cautions, bindovers or prosecutions pending?

Yes

Are you disqualified from childcare, either directly or by association?

Yes

If you have answered YES to any of the questions in this Section please expect that details will be explored at interview by an appropriate person.

First Reference

Please give details of two referees, one of whom must be your present or most recent employer. Normally no offer of employment will be made without reference to him / her. If you have not previously been employed, are in, or have just completed full-time education, one referee should be from a senior employee of the school, college or university. Friends and relatives are not acceptable referees, and open references will not be accepted. If a post requires additional references this will be detailed in the application pack.

If you are shortlisted references may be taken up before an interview or offer of employment, unless you request otherwise.

We will seek references as detailed above and may approach other previous employers for information to verify particular experiences or qualifications. We may also ask previous employers for information about disciplinary offences relating to children or young people, including any in which the penalty is ‘time expired or spent’ (that is where a warning could no longer be taken into account in any new disciplinary hearing for example) and whether the applicant has been the subject of any child protection concerns. This information is required, including that related to warnings regarded as ‘time expired or spent’ in order to ensure safe recruitment and meet our obligations to safeguard children. However, you should be aware that any disciplinary history declared will not automatically prevent or inhibit appointment and will depend on the dates and circumstances related to the disciplinary action, outcomes and the type of post being applied for. Note that you are also required to include information if you were subject to a disciplinary process but resigned before it was completed.

Please provide any details below if you have ever been the subject of formal disciplinary proceedings. If there are none, please write ‘none’:
