Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974
All posts involving direct contact with children are exempt from the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974. However, amendments to the Exceptions Order 1975 (2013 & 2020) provide that certain spent convictions and cautions are 'protected'. These are not subject to disclosure to employers and cannot be taken into account. Guidance and criteria on the filtering of these cautions and convictions can be found on the Ministry of Justice website or see here.
Shortlisted candidates will be asked to provide details of all unspent convictions and those that would not be filtered, prior to the date of the interview. You may be asked for further information about your criminal history during the recruitment process. If your application is successful, this self-disclosure information will be checked against information from the Disclosure & Barring Service before your appointment is confirmed.
I confirm that the above information is complete and accurate and I understand that any offer is subject to references which are satisfactory to the school, a satisfactory DBS certificate and Barred List Check, the entries on this form proving to be complete and accurate and a satisfactory medical report, if appropriate.
PART TWO
THIS WILL BE DETACHED FROM YOUR APPLICATION FORM AND ONLY REFERRED TO FOLLOWING SHORTLISTING
DIVERSITY
We are committed to equality of opportunity for everyone. To assess whether our Diversity policy is effective we need to monitor it and to do this we need the information requested below. We can then compare the success rates of different groups at both the shortlisting and appointment stages to ensure that unfair discrimination is not taking place. This will also enable us to comply with our obligations under current legislation.
The information below will be used only for monitoring purposes and not in the selection process. Please tick correct boxes:
Disability: The Disability Discrimination Act of 1995 and subsequent Equality Act 2010 made it unlawful for employers to discriminate against their employees who are disabled and places a duty on the employer to make reasonable adjustments to enable the employee to undertake the work. The definition in the Act is "People with disabilities are individuals who have, or have had, a physical or mental impairment which has a substantial and long term effect on his or her ability to carry out normal day to day activities". If you do consider yourself to be disabled under the definition in the Act, please indicate this, even if you do not currently need any adjustments to undertake your job.
