As part of our duty to safeguard pupils, we need to check whether you are barred from working with children, or whether you have convictions that would make you unsuitable to work with children or in the role you’ve applied for.

Please complete the following form as accurately as possible before your interview date.

Note: you are not required to disclose convictions or cautions that are ‘protected’, as defined by the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974 (Exceptions) Order 1975 (as amended in 2013). If you’re not sure whether one of your convictions is ‘protected’, you can check here.

If you accidentally provide information about ‘protected’ convictions or cautions, we won’t take this into account.

We’ll use the information in this form to:

Identify whether you may be ineligible for a role based on barring or childcare disqualification requirements

Inform our conversations with you about any relevant details during the interview process

We won’t use this information to make decisions about job offers.

If we offer you a position, we’ll compare the information you’ve provided in this self-declaration with the information in your formal DBS check so that we only make decisions based on the most accurate information possible.
