Prohibition from Teaching

The College is not permitted to employ anyone to carry out 'teaching work' if they are prohibited from doing so.

For these purposes 'teaching work' includes:

· planning and preparing lessons and courses for pupils;

· delivering lessons to pupils;

· assessing the development, progress and attainment of pupils; and

· reporting on the development, progress and attainment of pupils.

The declaration on this form therefore asks you to confirm whether you are prohibited from carrying out 'teaching work' and will also carry out a check to determine whether successful applicants for relevant roles are prohibited from teaching.

References

Please provide details of three referees who we may contact for references. One of these must be your current or most recent employer.

In accordance with statutory safeguarding guidance (Keeping Children Safe in Education, 2021), the College intends to take up references on all shortlisted candidates before interview. Should you prefer that the College do not approach your current employer until an offer of employment has been made, you must inform a member of the HR team as soon as possible via humanresources@wellingtoncollege.org.uk If you are subsequently shortlisted for interview, we will contact you to discuss this further.

If you are not currently working with children but have done so in the past in either a paid or voluntary capacity, at least one referee must have known you in your most recent role working with children.

If the College receives a factual reference, i.e., one which only contains limited information about you, additional references may be sought.

References will not be accepted from relatives or from people writing solely in their capacity as a friend. The College reserves the right to take up references from any previous employer.

If you have previously worked overseas, the College may take up references from your overseas employers.

The College will also telephone your references in order to verify the reference they have provided.

Recruitment and use of Information

It is the College’s policy to employ the best qualified personnel and to provide equal opportunity for the advancement of employees including promotion and training and not to discriminate against any person because of, and including, race, colour, nationality, ethnic or national origin, religion or religious belief, sex, sexual orientation, marital or civil partner status, pregnancy and maternity, gender reassignment, disability or age. All new appointments are subject to a probationary period.

The College is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment.

A copy of the College’s Recruitment, Selection and Disclosure policy (which includes the College’s policy on recruitment of ex-offenders, is available to download from the College’s website. Please take the time to read them.

If your application is successful, the College will retain the information provided in this form (together with any attachments) on your personnel file for the duration of your employment. If your application is unsuccessful, all documentation relating to your application will normally be confidentially destroyed six months after the date on which you are notified of the outcome.

Disclosure and Barring Service checks, criminal record and Children’s Barred list

Please be aware that the College applies for an Enhanced Disclosure from the Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) for all positions at the College which amount to regulated activity. For the avoidance of doubt, all employed roles at the College are deemed to meet the legal definition of regulated activity with children unless advised otherwise. If you are successful in your application you will be required to complete a DBS Disclosure Application Form. Employment with the College is conditional upon the College being satisfied with the result of the Enhanced DBS Disclosure. Any criminal records information that is disclosed to the College will be handled in accordance with any guidance and / or code of practice published by the DBS.

The College will also carry out a check of the Children's Barred List. Please be aware that it is unlawful for the College to employ anyone to work with children if they are barred from doing so, and it is a criminal offence for a person to apply to work with children if they are barred from doing so. The declaration at the bottom of this Form therefore asks you to confirm whether you are barred from working with children.

The role you are applying for at the College is also exempt from the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974 and the College is therefore permitted to ask you to declare all convictions and cautions (including those which would normally be considered "spent") in order to assess your suitability to work with children. In this form you will be required to provide details of all spent and unspent convictions and cautions. However, you will not have to disclose a caution or conviction for an offence committed in the United Kingdom if it has been filtered in accordance with the DBS filtering rules.

If your application is successful, you will be required to provide information about your suitability to work with children by completing a self-declaration form prior to interview within which will be required to provide details of all spent and unspent convictions and cautions.

Having a criminal record will not necessarily prevent you from taking up employment with the College. Instead, the College will assess each case on its merits and with reference to the College's objective assessment criteria set out in the College's 'Recruitment, Selection and Disclosure Policy and Procedure'.
