"The school is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment.
Applicants will be required to undergo child protection screening appropriate to the post, including checks with past employers and the Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS). The School may carry out online searches on shortlisted applicants and all applicants will be required to provide details of their online profile, including social media account names/handles, as part of their application.
The safeguarding responsibilities of the post include:
Ensuring the protection of children from abuse, neglect, and exploitation, while also addressing broader issues that may endanger them, is crucial.
