The College is committed to safeguarding and the promotion of the welfare of children and young people. To promote safer recruitment, the College has adopted guidance as set out by the Department for Education: ‘Keeping children safe in education’ (September 2020). As well as the scrutiny of application forms, interview information and references, we undertake enhanced disclosure and barring service checks (DBS) for all new starters. Prohibition checks are included for teaching staff in case of any sanctions or restrictions; for the same purpose, overseas checks are also undertaken for teaching staff who have lived or worked outside the UK. These procedures reflect the College’s Safeguarding Policy. For more information regarding the Disclosure and Barring Service and safer recruitment, please visit the Home Office website (www.gov.uk/disclosure-barring-service-check). The College is a member of The Maple Group of leading sixth form colleges in England.
