Nishkam School Trust is legally obligated to process an enhanced Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) check before making appointments to relevant posts.
For posts in regulated activity, the DBS check will include a barred list check.
It is an offence to seek employment in regulated activity if you are on a barred list.
We’ll use the DBS check to ensure we comply with the Childcare Disqualification Regulations. It is an offence to provide or manage childcare covered by these regulations if you are disqualified.
Any data processed as part of the DBS check will be processed in accordance with data protection regulations and Nishkam School Trust privacy notice.
Any job offer will be conditional on the satisfactory completion of the necessary pre-employment checks.
The post is exempt from the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974 and the Trust is therefore permitted to ask job applicants 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. Any convictions listed on a DBS check will be considered on a case-by-case basis.
It is under the requirements of the statutory guidance Keeping Children Safe in Education 2023, that the Trust may carry out digital screening checks as part of the shortlisting process. This may be carried out by a third-party agency.
