St Monica's is committed to safeguarding its pupils and staff and therefore all pre-employment checks will be carried out prior to any offer of employment. St Monica's is required under law and guidance to check the criminal background of all employees.  Decisions to appoint will be subject to consideration of enhanced disclosure, including a Barred List Check, from the Disclosure and Barring Service and satisfactory references. The amendments to the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974 (Excepttions) Order 175 (2013 and 2020) provides that when applying for certain jobs and activities, certain convictions and cautions are considered 'protected'.  This means that they do no need to be disclosed to employers, and if they are disclosed, employers cannot take them into account.  Information about which convictions must be declared and related exceptions, can be accessed here: http://www.gov.uk/government/publications/new-guidance-on-the-rehabilitation-of-offenders-act-1974.  In accordance with our statutory obligations under Keeping Chidlren Safe in Education, St Monica's is required to conduct an online search as part of our due diligence on shortlisted candidates. It is an offence to apply for this post if you are barred from engaging in regulated activity relevant to children or vulnerable adults.
