Safeguarding and employment checks: Harrodian is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expects all staff to share this commitment. Offers of employment are conditional until the satisfactory completion of mandatory pre-employment checks, which will include the receipt of satisfactory references, an Enhanced DBS check from the Disclosure and Barring Service, a police certificate of good conduct from any country the applicant has lived in for more than 3 months during the past 5 years, medical clearance and proof of legal right to work in the UK. In accordance with current Keeping Children Safe in Education recommendations, online searches may be carried out as part of due diligence checks. Please read our Safer Recruiting Policy and Safeguarding Children and Child Protection Policy by selecting from our list of policies HERE.
All positions within the School are exempt from the provisions of the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974. The Enhanced DBS check will give details of all spent and unspent convictions and other recordable matters. A policy on the recruitment of ex-offenders is available from HR. References will be taken up and the School may approach previous employers for information to verify particular experience or qualifications.
Equal Opportunities – Harrodian is committed to the principles of equal opportunity, diversity and inclusion. We seek to attract and retain the very best staff, ensuring that our staff body reflects the diversity of our students and local community. We are seeking to increase applications from under represented groups and, in particular, those from BAME communities. We welcome applications from everyone, regardless of age, gender, ethnicity, sexual orientation, faith or disability. All appointments will be made on merit, following a fair and transparent process and will be in line with the Equality Act 2010.
