Safeguarding Statement
In line with Keeping Children Safe in Education 2024, as a part of our recruitment process, we will carry out an online search on shortlisted candidates to identify any comment, image or other content that could cause reputational damage to the school and/or give rise to a safeguarding concern. If we discover anything during our searches, this will be passed onto the Headteacher and discussed during interview. We are deeply committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and expect all staff, governors and volunteers to share this commitment. All necessary safeguarding checks will be undertaken which must have satisfactory outcomes, otherwise the conditional job offer may be withdrawn. Details of the checks that will be undertaken can be found within the Keeping Children Safe in Education, 2024 document.

It is an offence to apply for this role if you are barred from engaging in regulated activity relevant to children. This post is exempt from the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974 (Exceptions) Order and 2020).
