Recruitment Checks

The Headteacher and The Governing Body of Chosen Hill School are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment.

We require all new employees to complete an enhanced level criminal background check through the Disclosure and Barring Service. It is a condition of employment that the employee should not have been convicted of a criminal offence against children, nor have been dismissed, or resigned from, a previous employer for misconduct of a similar nature.

Having a criminal record is not necessarily a bar to employment; it will depend on the nature, circumstances, and background to the offence.

As part of our due diligence within safer recruitment, school will be conducting online searches to help identify any incidents or issues which may need to be explored at interview. These searches will include, but will not be limited to, Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and Google.
