Safer Recruitment and Safeguarding

All posts involving direct contact with children are exempt from the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974. Amendments to the Exceptions Order 1975 (2013 & 2020) provide that certain spent convictions and cautions are "protected" and are not subject to disclosure to employers. Guidance and criteria on the filtering of these cautions and convictions can be found on the Ministry of Justice website.

Shortlisted candidates will be asked to provide details of all unspent convictions prior to the interview. Successful candidates are expected to undergo pre‑employment checks including an enhanced DBS and barred lists check.
