We’d love to help you move forward too.

Care will conduct online searches of shortlisted candidates. This check will be part of a safeguarding process and the search will purely be based on whether an individual is suitable to work with children. As care must be taken to avoid unconscious bias and any risk of discrimination, a person who will not be on the appointment panel will conduct the search and will only share information if and when findings are relevant and of concern.
