Safeguarding and Recruitment

The College is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people. All staff and volunteers are expected to share this commitment. Applicants will undergo child protection screening, including a DBS check, and the successful candidate must pass all checks. The role involves 'regulated activity' with children, and employment is contingent upon satisfactory DBS and other checks. The College will also verify the Children's Barred List. It is unlawful to employ someone barred from working with children, and applying while barred is a criminal offense. This role is exempt from the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974, and applicants may be asked to declare all convictions and cautions, including spent ones unless protected under DBS filtering rules.
