The School is legally required to carry out a number of pre-appointment checks which are detailed in the School's Recruitment policy. The information you are being asked to provide in this form is required so that the School can comply with those legal obligations should your application be successful. Please note that in order to be considered for a position at the School, you must complete this application form. A curriculum vitae will not be accepted in place of a completed application form. In line with KCSIE guidance, at the point of offer of a role with the School, we will undertake relevant checks on your publicly available online and social media presence. Any concerns or issues arising from the checks will be discussed with you as part of our Safer Recruitment processes (please refer to the school’s ‘recruitment policy’ for more information).

Referees

Please provide a minimum of two referees, the first of whom must be your present/most recent employer or line manager. If your current/most recent employment does/did not involve work with children, then your second referee should be from your employer with whom you most recently worked with children. It is preferable not to have two referees from the same organisation. Please indicate each referee’s role and relationship to you (a referee should not be a relative or someone known to you solely as a friend). The school will take up references on all shortlisted candidates before interview (other than from your current employer unless you give us consent to do so). The school reserves the right to take up references from any previous employer.

If the school receives a factual reference i.e.one which contains only limited information about you, additional references may be sought. If the school feels it necessary to take up additional references for any reason we will contact you to discuss this before approaching any party for an additional reference.

If you have previously worked overseas the School may take up references from your overseas employer.

Applicants should be aware that the school contacts referees to verify references received.

Cranleigh School treats all references received as Given In Confidence and will therefore not disclose reference content unless requesting clarification or further information.

Prohibition From Teaching, Prohibition From Management And Disqualification From Providing Childcare

The School is not permitted to employ anyone to carry out 'teaching work' if they are prohibited from doing so. For these purposes 'teaching work' includes:

planning and preparing lessons and courses for pupils;
delivering lessons to pupils;
assessing the development, progress and attainment of pupils; and
reporting on the development, progress and attainment of pupils.

The above activities do not amount to 'teaching work' if they are supervised by a qualified teacher or other person nominated by the Head. The School is also not permitted to employ anyone to work in a management position if they are prohibited from being involved in the management of an independent school. This applies to the following positions at the School:

Head;
teaching posts on the senior leadership team;
teaching posts which carry a departmental head role;
support staff posts on the senior leadership team;
Housemaster and Housemistress roles

The School is also not permitted to employ anyone to work in a position which involves the provision of 'childcare' if they are disqualified from providing 'childcare'. For these purposes 'childcare' includes:

all supervised activities before, during and after the school day for children in our early years provision i.e. for a child up to 1 September following their 5th birthday; and
provision for children who are not in our early years provision and who are under the age of 8, which takes place on the school premises before or after the school day.

Work as a cleaner, driver, transport escort, member of the catering staff or member of the office staff is not considered 'childcare' for these purposes. The declaration Section of this Form therefore asks you to confirm whether you are prohibited from carrying out “teaching work”, prohibited from being involved in the management of an independent school and/or disqualified from providing 'childcare'. These aspects of the declaration will not be applicable if you are not applying for a relevant role.. If you are unsure whether the role for which you are applying involves teaching work, is a relevant management role or involves the provision of 'childcare' please contact Personnel. The School will also carry out checks to determine whether successful applicants for relevant roles are prohibited from carrying out “teaching work” and/or involvement in the management of an independent school. Successful applicants for 'childcare' roles will be required to complete a childcare disqualification self-declaration form.

Disclosure And Barring Service Checks, Criminal Record And Children’S Barred List:

Please be aware that the School applies for an Enhanced Disclosure from the Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) for all positions at the School which amount to regulated activity. The role you are applying for meets the legal definition of regulated activity with children. If you are successful in your application you will be required to complete a DBS Disclosure Application Form. Employment with the School is conditional upon the School being satisfied with the result of the Enhanced DBS Disclosure. Any criminal records information that is disclosed to the School will be handled in accordance with any guidance and / or code of practice published by the DBS.

The School will also carry out a check of the Children's Barred List. Please be aware that it is unlawful for the School to employ anyone to work with children if they are barred from doing so, and it is a criminal offence for a person to apply to work with children if they are barred from doing so. The declaration section of this form therefore asks you to confirm whether you are barred from working with children.

The role you are applying for is also exempt from the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974 and the School is therefore permitted to ask you to declare all convictions and cautions (including those which would normally be considered "spent") in order to assess your suitability to work with children. If you are successful in being shortlisted for this role, you will be required to provide information about your suitability to work with children by completing a self-declaration form. In this form you will be required to provide details of all spent and unspent convictions and cautions. However, you will not have 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. For further information, please see ‘Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) Notes’.

Having a criminal record will not necessarily prevent you from taking up employment with the School. Instead, the School will assess each case on its merits and with reference to the School's objective assessment criteria set out in the School's 'Recruitment, selection and disclosure policy and procedure'.

All new appointments are subject to a probationary period.

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.
