Safeguarding Responsibilities

The safeguarding responsibilities of the post include:

• Safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children;
• Fostering a culture of openness, safety, equality and protection;
• Providing a safe and welcoming environment where both children and adults feel secure, able to talk and believe that they are being listened to;
• Playing a key role in prevention of harm and an equal responsibility to act on any suspicion or disclosure that may indicate a child is at risk of harm;

All staff have a key role to play in identifying concerns early and in providing help for children and are expected to act in accordance with the school Safeguarding & Child Protection Policies.

The post is exempt from the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974 and the School is therefore permitted to ask job candidates to declare all convictions and cautions (including those which are "spent" unless they are "protected" under the DBS filtering rules) in order to assess their suitability to work with children.
