Safeguarding
ACET is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment.
All applicants should read our safeguarding Policy and Safer Recruitment Policy, which are available on the 'policy' section of our academy websites.
It
is an offence to seek employment in regulated activity if you are barred from
working with children. This post will involve regular contact with children,
and therefore is exempt from the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974.
Applicants are therefore not entitled to withhold information about
convictions, cautions or bind-over orders which for any other purposes are
"spent" under the provisions of the Act. Any information that is "protected"
under the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974 (Exceptions) Order 1975 will not
appear on a DBS certificate and does not need to be declared. Guidance on this
can be found at https://www.gov.uk
/government/publications/new-guidance-on-the-rehabilitation-of-offenders-act-1974.
Successful candidates will be subject to a DBS check at the appropriate level. Shortlisted candidates will be asked to complete a self-declaration related to their criminal record or any information that would make them unsuitable to work with children. If you have lived or worked outside of the UK, additional information may be required from you to satisfy safer recruitment checks.
