Safer Recruitment and Selection

The school pays full regard to the DfE statutory guidance ‘Keeping Children Safe in Education’.

The Governing Body ensure that at least one person on any appointment panel has attended safer recruitment training. 

Any successful candidate will be appointed subject to Enhanced DBS and pre-employment checks, confirmation of appropriate qualifications and professional references.
