SAFEGUARDING

Taunton School operates in a regulated sector and adheres to the Keeping Children Safe in Education (KCSIE) statutory guidance. We are committed to working together to safeguard children and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment.

If you are shortlisted for interview the HR team may carry out an online search via Google to check presence and activity, as part of the School's due diligence. As a regulated sector we are required to request references prior to interview unless your permission is not granted.

Offers of employment are subject to satisfactory safeguarding and pre-employment checks as part of the School's due diligence, in line with Keeping Children Safe in Education. These include, but are not limited to, ID and Right to Work in the UK, satisfactory references, a successful enhanced DBS check, and satisfactory online searches.

This job is exempt from the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974 and subsequent amendments. You are not entitled to withhold information about convictions which would otherwise be considered as 'spent'. All applicants must therefore declare all previous convictions and cautions, including those that would normally be considered "spent", except those that are classed as protected offences.

It is a condition of employment that the employee should not have been convicted of a criminal offence against children, nor have been dismissed from or resigned from a previous employer for misconduct of a similar nature.

If you have not heard from us within 2 weeks of the closing date, please assume that your application has unfortunately been unsuccessful. Due to numbers of applications received for our jobs, we do not provide feedback at this stage.
