- Performance history.

- All formal time-limited capability warnings which have not passed the expiration date.

- All formal time-limited disciplinary warnings where not related to safeguarding concerns which have not passed the expiration date.

- Details of any child protection concerns, and if so, the outcome of any enquiry

- Whether the referee has any reservations as to the candidate’s suitability to work with children. If so, the school will ask for specific details of the concerns and the reasons why the referee believes the candidate may be unsuitable to work with children.

By signing the below, I consent to my named referees being contacted in accordance with the above.

Compulsory Declaration of any Convictions, Cautions or Reprimands, Warnings or Bind-overs 

It is the Trust’s policy to require all applicants for employment to disclose convictions or cautions (excluding youth cautions, reprimands or warnings) that are not ‘protected’ as defined by the Ministry of Justice. 
In addition, the job you are applying for is exempt from the provisions of the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974 (Exceptions) Order 1975 (2013 and 2020) which requires you to disclose all spent convictions and cautions except those which are ‘protected’ under Police Act 1997 – Part V and the amendments to the Exceptions Order 1975 (2013 and 2020) and are not subject to disclosure to employers on DBS certificates and cannot be taken into account. 
If you are invited to interview you will be required to complete a “Disclosure of Criminal Record” form and bring the completed form to interview. 

In accordance with the provisions of The Childcare Act 2006 and The Childcare (Disqualification) Regulations 2009 and Childcare (Early Years Provision Free of Charge) (Extended Entitlement) (Amendment) Regulations 2018, there is a requirement on some staff in educational settings to disclose relevant information. This requirement will apply to your application if the post you are applying for is in an Early Years setting with children (from birth until 1 September following a child’s fifth birthday) or Later Years childcare (children above reception age but who have not attained the age of 8) in nursery, primary or secondary school settings, or if you are directly concerned with the management of such childcare. 
The information you give will be treated as strictly confidential. Disclosure of a conviction, caution, bind-over order, warning or reprimand will not automatically disqualify you from consideration. Any offence will only be taken into consideration if it is one which would make you unsuitable for the type of work you are applying for. However, offences relating to children may make you unsuitable since this is a “regulated position” under the Criminal Justice & Courts Services Act 2000.

In accordance with the requirements of The School Staffing (England) (Amendment) Regulations 2013, any future appointment is subject to a check with the Department for Education to ensure that you are not subject to a prohibition order or an interim prohibition order.
