Criminal Records and Childcare Disqualification
An offer of employment is conditional upon the School receiving an Enhanced Disclosure from the
Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) which the School considers to be satisfactory. The School
applies for an Enhanced Check for Regulated Activity from the DBS (which includes a check of the
Children's Barred List) in respect of all positions at the School which amount to regulated activity. It
is unlawful for the School to employ anyone who is barred from working with children.
It is a criminal offence for any person who is barred from working with children to attempt to apply
for a position at the School. If you are successful in your application you will be required to complete
a DBS Disclosure Application Form. Any information disclosed will be handled in accordance with any
guidance and / or code of practice published by the DBS.
The School is exempt from the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974 and therefore all convictions,
cautions, reprimands and final warnings (including those which would normally be considered
"spent" under the Act) must be declared. You are not required 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 (see Appendix 1 to this form).
If you have a criminal record this will not automatically debar you from employment. Instead, each
case will be assessed fairly by reference to the School's objective assessment procedure set out in the
School's Recruitment, Selection and Disclosure Policy and Procedure.
It is a condition of your application that you answer the questions below. Before doing so please read
Appendix 1 (page 14) to this form.
Yes
No
Have you been cautioned, subject to a court order, bound
over, received a reprimand or warning or been found guilty
of committing any criminal offence whether in the United
Kingdom or in another country?
You are not required to disclose a caution or conviction for
an offence committed in the United Kingdom which is
subject to the Disclosure and Barring Service filtering rules
(see Appendix 1).
Is there any relevant court action pending against you?
If answering "YES" to any of the above, please provide the following information on a separate sheet and
send in a sealed envelope marked "confidential" with your application form:

details of the order, restriction, conviction or caution and the date that this was made

the relevant court or body and the sentence, if any, which was imposed

a copy of the relevant order or conviction.

Personal Declarations
I confirm that the information I have given on this application form is true and correct to the best of my
knowledge.
I understand that to knowingly give false information, or to omit any relevant information, is an offence
which could result in:
 my application being rejected
 Summary dismissal or offer of employment withdrawn if the false information comes to light
after my appointment
 criminal prosecution.
I confirm that I am not on the Children’s Barred List, disqualified from working with children, or young
adults, nor subject to any sanctions imposed by a regulatory body.
I confirm that I am not subject to a direction under section 142 of the Education Act 2002 or section 128
of the Education and Skills Act 2008 which prohibits, disqualifies or restricts me from teaching or being
involved in the management of an independent school.
During the recruitment and selection process I consent to the School processing, as necessary, the
information contained in this form, including any sensitive information, and any information being
received by or on behalf of Halliford School which relates to this application.
I know of no reason, on grounds of mental or physical health, why (subject to any reasonable
adjustments for qualifying persons under the Disability Discrimination Act 2005) I should not be able to
discharge the responsibilities of this post.
I consent to the school making direct contact with the people specified as my referees to verify the
reference.
