References

A referee who is a current or former employer should have full access to your personal records, to the extent achievable in compliance with GDPR.

If you are a practising Catholic, please nominate as one of your referees your Parish Priest or the Priest of the Parish where you regularly worship. If you are Catholic but not practising, you may instead provide a copy of your baptism certificate, or the name and address of the parish where you were baptised.

In accordance with Keeping Children Safe in Education we will obtain and scrutinise references prior to interview. Referees will be asked about all disciplinary offences (including those where the penalty is “time expired” if related to children) and all child protection allegations.

Disclosure of Criminal and Child Protection Matters, and DBS

The Academy Trust Company is obliged by law to operate a checking procedure for employees who have access to children and young people.

It is an offence to knowingly apply for, offer to do, or do any work in a regulated position if you have been disqualified from working with children. Any offer of employment will be subject to satisfactory Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) checks. A conviction will not necessarily be a bar to employment.

Have you ever been the subject of any child protection concern, or of disciplinary action in relation to children?

If yes, please provide full details:

If you have any convictions, cautions, reprimands or final warnings that are not “protected” as defined by the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974 (Exceptions) Order 1975 (as amended), the details must be disclosed if you are invited for interview. Guidance is on the Ministry of Justice website.
