Safeguarding Information

The Quantock Education Trust is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children, young people and vulnerable adults and we expect all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. Successful applicants will receive the Safeguarding Policy that outlines the duties and responsibilities of the employer and all employees and will be expected to undertake mandatory safeguarding training and follow the principals of safeguarding and understand that safeguarding is everyone's responsibility


The Quantock Education Trust is required under law and guidance to check the criminal background of all employees. Decisions to appoint will be subject to consideration of an enhanced disclosure, including a Barred List check, from the Disclosure and Barring Service. Because of the nature of the work for which you are applying, this post is exempt from the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974 (Exceptions) Order 1975 (as amended in 2013 and 2020).

The amendments to the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974 (Exceptions) Order 1975 (2013 and 2020) provides that when applying for certain jobs and activities, certain convictions and cautions are considered ‘protected’. This means that they do not need to be disclosed to employers, and if they are disclosed, employers cannot take them into account.


Guidance about whether a conviction or caution should be disclosed can be found on the Ministry of Justice website, which can be accessed here:

https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/new-guidance-on-the-rehabilitation-of-offenders-act-1974


If shortlisted for an interview you will be required to disclose to us information about any:

·        adult cautions (simple or conditional);

·        unspent conditional cautions;

·        unspent convictions in a Court of Law; and

·        spent convictions that are not protected as defined by the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974 (Exceptions) Order 1975 (Amendment) (England and Wales) Order 2020


so that a police check can be carried out if you are offered an appointment.


If you are subsequently employed by the Quantock Education Trust and it is found that you failed to disclose any relevant previous convictions or cautions as defined above, this could result in dismissal, or disciplinary action being taken by the Trust. During the course of your employment with the Trust should you be arrested by the police you are obliged to notify the Headteacher/Head of School of this immediately (even if de-arrested or all charges dropped). Failure to do so could result in disciplinary action being taken which could result in dismissal. All information will be treated in confidence and will only be considered in relation to any application for posts for which the exemption order applies.
