Safer Recruitment at The Haven

The Haven School is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of all students.

Level of disclosure required for all roles: ENHANCED

All posts at the school are classified as having substantial access to children and so are exempt from the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act (ROA) 1974. Shortlisted applicants will be sent a form to complete and required to declare:

• All unspent convictions and conditional cautions.

• All spent convictions and adult cautions that are not protected (i.e., that are not filtered out) as defined by the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974 (Exceptions) Order 1975 (as amended in 2020). For further information on filtering please refer to Nacro guidance and the guidance published by the Ministry of Justice (see, in particular, the section titled ‘Exceptions Order’).

If you are shortlisted to attend for interview you will be asked to complete a confidential Criminal Records Declaration Form. The information disclosed on the form will not be kept with your application form during the application process. The information will only be seen by those who need to see it as part of the recruitment process.

It is important that applicants understand that deliberate attempts to conceal the information requested in the confidential form could result in disciplinary proceedings or dismissal. Further advice and guidance on disclosing criminal records can be obtained from Criminal Record Support Service.

All applicants who are offered employment will be subject to a criminal record check, and a check will be made with the Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) before the appointment is confirmed.

Any information will be treated with the strictest confidence, and you will only be prevented from obtaining employment if it is considered that you have a criminal record that makes you unsuitable for the post in question.
