Akiva School is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children, and we expect all staff to share this commitment. This post is exempt from the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974 (Exceptions) Order 1975 (as amended 2013 and 2020); pre-employment checks will be carried out, two references will be sought, and successful candidates will be subject to an enhanced DBS check, medical clearance and other relevant checks with statutory bodies.
The school complies with the DBS code of practice and has a DBS Policy which outlines the policy on the recruitment of ex-offenders, both of which are available on request. Shortlisted candidates will be required to declare any relevant convictions, adult cautions or other matters which may affect your suitability to work with children. As a result of amendments to the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974 (exceptions order 1975) in 2013 and 2020, some minor offences are now protected (filtered) and do not need to be disclosed – these offences will also not be taken into account by the school.
