Staff Application Form

Throughout this form we ask for some personal data about you. We’ll only use this data in line with data protection legislation and process your data for one or more of the following reasons permitted in law: • You have given us your consent • We must process it to comply with our legal obligations

The school is legally obligated to process an enhanced Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) check before making appointments to relevant posts. The DBS check will reveal both spent and unspent convictions, cautions, reprimands and final warnings, and any other information held by local police that’s considered relevant to the role. Any information that is “protected” under the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974 (Exceptions) Order 1975 will not appear on a DBS certificate. For posts in regulated activity, the DBS check will include a barred list check. It is an offence to seek employment in regulated activity if you are on a barred list. We’ll use the DBS check to ensure we comply with the Childcare Disqualification Regulations. It is an offence to provide or manage childcare covered by these regulations if you are disqualified. Any data processed as part of the DBS check will be processed in accordance with data protection regulations and the school’s privacy notice.

If you’ve lived and/or worked outside of the UK, the school must make any further checks it considers appropriate (in addition to the usual pre-employment checks). We’ll base the decision on whether this is necessary on individual circumstances, and factors such as: • The amount of information you disclose in the DBS check • The length of time you’ve spent in or out of the UK

The school will require you to provide evidence of your right to work in the UK in accordance with the Immigration, Asylum and Nationality Act 2006. By signing this application, you agree to provide such evidence when requested.
