8. DBS, Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974 and Recruitment checks
The School applies for an Enhanced Disclosure from the Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS), including Children and Adult Barred List checks for all positions at the School which amount regulated activity. It is an offence for anyone who is disqualified from working with children or adults to attempt to apply for a position within the School. It is unlawful for the School to employ anyone who is included on the lists maintained by the DBS of individuals who are considered unsuitable to work with children or adults at risk. In addition, it will also be unlawful for the School to employ anyone who is the subject of a disqualifying order made on being convicted or charged with certain violent and sexual criminal offences against children or adults at risk, at home or abroad. The School uses the DBS check to comply with the “Disqualification under the Childcare Act 2006 (July 2018)” regulation. It is unlawful to employ anyone to provide or manage childcare if they are disqualified under these regulations. 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 ‘protected’ under the DBS filtering rules) in order to assess their suitability to work with children. Any data processed as part of the DBS check will be processed in accordance with data protection regulations and the school’s privacy notice. ☐ ☐ Do you have a DBS certificate? YES NO Date of check: If you have lived or worked outside of the UK for more than three months in the last five years, the school may require additional information in order to comply with safer recruitment requirements, such as information to obtain a criminal record check from the country(ies) you lived or worked in. Have you lived or worked outside of the UK for more than three months in the last 5 years? ☐ ☐ YES NO Any job offer will be conditional on the satisfactory completion of the necessary pre-employment checks. Shortlisted applicants will be asked to disclose criminal record(s) or information that would make them unsuitable to work with children so that it can be discussed and considered at interview before a DBS certificate is received. Any convictions listed on a DBS check will be considered on a case-by-case basis. For further information please read our Safeguarding Policy and Policy on the recruitment of ex- offenders (Appendix 1 of our Recruitment Policy) found here. The School will complete an online search for all shortlisted candidates. If any incidents or issues have happened that are publicly available online, the school may wish to explore this at interview.
