Knowledge | Aspiration | RespectSafer Recruitment at Future Academies
Future Academies is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young
people. We undertake very thorough checks to ensure that we meet our obligations to protect the
children attending our schools. We expect all staff and volunteers to share this commitment and to
undergo appropriate checks, including an Enhanced DBS and barred list check. We also ensure
teaching staff are not subject to a prohibition order or an interim prohibition order.
1. Candidates should be aware that all posts at Future Academies involve some degree of
responsibility for safeguarding children and young people, although the extent of that
responsibility will vary depending on the nature of the post. All members of staff will have
access to the DfE Keeping Children Safe in Education guidance, September 2019.
2. Longlisted candidates will be required to complete a Disclosure of Criminal Record form and
bring the completed form to interview. If the job involves contact with children up to age 8
you will also be required to make a Disqualification Declaration. The information you give will
be treated as strictly confidential. Disclosure of a conviction, caution, warning or reprimand
will not automatically disqualify you from consideration. Any offence will only be taken into
consideration if it is one which would make you unsuitable for the type of work you are
applying for. However, offences relating to children may make you unsuitable since this is a
“regulated position” under the Criminal Justice & Courts Services Act 2000.
3. If you are currently working with children, on either a paid or voluntary basis, your current
employer will be asked about disciplinary offences, including those related to children or
young people (whether the disciplinary sanction is current or time-expired), and whether you
have been the subject of any child protection allegations or concerns and if so the outcome of
any investigation or disciplinary proceedings. If you are not currently working with children,
but have done in the past, that previous employer will be asked about these issues.
4. You should be aware that provision of false information is an offence and could result in the
application being rejected or summary dismissal if the applicant has been selected, and
possible referral to the police and/or Independent Safeguarding Authority.
Invitation to Interview – please bring with you:
• Disclosure of Criminal Record, or Disqualification Declaration form in a sealed envelope. This
form will be sent to candidates invited to interview.
• Documentary evidence of identity that will satisfy DBS requirements such as a current UK
Photo card driving license and/or a current passport and/or a full birth certificate
• Documentary proof of address (i.e. utility bill, financial statement etc.)
• Where appropriate any documentation evidencing a change of name
• Original certificates confirming any educational or professional qualifications that are
necessary or relevant for the post
• Evidence that you have the right to work in the UK
Please note that originals of the above are necessary. Photocopies are not sufficient.
Candidates will be asked to account for any gaps in their employment history and to address any
discrepancies or anomalies in their application form. We will require information in accordance with
statutory guidance for anyone who has worked or been resident overseas in the previous five years.
Knowledge | Aspiration | RespectWe will seek references on longlisted candidates and may approach previous employers for
information to verify particular experience or qualifications before interview.
