Taunton School operates in a regulated sector and adheres to the Keeping Children Safe in Education (KCSIE) statutory guidance. We are committed to working together to safeguard children and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment.

This job is exempt from the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974 and subsequent amendments.
