Please provide details of two referees who have recent knowledge of your work.
One
must be your present employer, or last employer if not currently employed or
you have been with your current employer for less than 12 months.
References
will not be accepted from relatives or from people writing solely in their
capacity of friends.
If
you are selected for interview, references will be called for before
interview unless you request otherwise.
Any
previous employers or educational institutions may also be approached for
information to verify experience or qualifications before interview.
If
you are not currently working with children but have done so in the past in
either a paid or voluntary capacity, at least one referee must have known you
in your most recent role working with children.
If
your previous posts have involved working with children in either a paid or
voluntary capacity, questions will be asked about disciplinary offences related
to children, including any for which the penalty is ‘time expired’ (that is,
where a warning could no longer be taken into account
in any new disciplinary hearing, for example) and whether you have been the
subject of any child protection concerns and if so the outcome of any enquiry
or disciplinary procedure.
Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974 (exceptions) Order 1975 (2013)
WORKING
WITH YOUNG PERSONS UNDER AGE 18
The Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974 (exceptions) Order 1975 (2013) provides that certain spent convictions and cautions are ‘protected’ and are not subject to disclosure to employers, and cannot be taken in to account. Guidance and criteria on the filtering of these cautions and convictions can be found at the Disclosure and Barring Service website: https://www.gov.uk/government/news/dbs-filter-certain-old-and-minor-cautions-and-convictions-reprimands-and-warnings-from-criminal-record-certificates.
If you are shortlisted you will be asked to disclose 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 in 2013) – a failure to do so is likely to result in dismissal should it later be discovered. Any information given will be treated entirely as confidential and will be considered only in relation to this application.
If you
have worked with children in either a paid or voluntary capacity, please note
that your current/most recent employer, where you were employed to work with
children, will be asked about disciplinary offences relating to children, young
people and vulnerable adults, any child protection concerns and the outcomes of
any enquiries or disciplinary procedures.
This will include any instances for which the penalty is time expired.
