Self-Disclosure

Pennthorpe is committed to safeguarding children from physical, sexual and emotional harm. As part of our Child Protection policy, we require applicants for posts involving contact with children to complete this Self Disclosure Form.

Guidance about whether a conviction or caution should be disclosed can be found on the Ministry of Justice website.

Self-Disclosure Declaration*

I declare that to the best of my knowledge the information given above is correct and understand that any misleading statements or deliberate omission may be sufficient grounds for cancelling my appointment. I understand that I may be asked to apply for a Criminal Records Disclosure and consent to do so. I understand that the information contained in this form and in the Disclosure may be disclosed, where strictly necessary, to regulatory bodies and/or third parties who have an interest in child protection issues.

I agree to the above Self-Disclosure Declaration

Declaration

I confirm that this information is, to the best of my knowledge, true and complete.

I know of no reasons, on grounds of mental or physical health, why I should not be able to discharge the responsibilities required by the post in question.
I am aware that the post for which I am applying is exempt from the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974 and therefore that all convictions, cautions and bind-overs, including those regarded as ‘spent’, must be declared. I have not been disqualified from working with children, am not named on DfE List 99 or the Protection of Children Act List, am not subject to any sanctions imposed by a regulatory body (e.g. the General Teaching Council) and either I have no convictions, cautions or bind-overs or I have attached details of any convictions, cautions or bind-overs in a sealed envelope marked confidential.

The amendments to the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974 (exceptions) Order 1975 (2013 and 2020) provides that when applying for certain jobs and activities, certain convictions and cautions are considered ‘protected’. This means that they do not need to be disclosed to employers, and if they are disclosed, employers cannot take them into account. Guidance about whether a conviction or caution should be disclosed can be found on the Ministry of Justice website.

I understand that, if successful, I shall be subject to enhanced clearance through the Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS).
I understand that Pennthorpe is authorised to obtain references on short listed candidates and may approach current and previous employers for information to verify particular experience or qualifications before interview.
I understand that if I am currently working with children on either a paid or voluntary basis, my current employer will be asked about disciplinary offences relating to children, including anywhere the penalty is time expired (that is, where a warning could no longer be taken into account in any new disciplinary hearing, for example), also whether I have been the subject of any child protection concerns and, if so, the outcome of any enquiry or disciplinary procedure. If I am not currently working with children, I understand that my previous employer will be asked about those issues.
I understand that providing false information is an offence and could result in my application being rejected, or in summary dismissal if I have been selected; also in possible referral to the police.
I agree that the organisation may use the information contained on this form for the purpose of processing my job application and for any other legitimate purpose of the business. I release the school and my referees from any liability caused by giving and receiving information.
I understand that any offer of employment made by the school will be conditional on verification of medical fitness and of my right to work in the UK.

I agree to the above declaration and to Pennthorpe's use of information submitted in this form in compliance with the Data Protection Act 1998.*

The use of information provided on this form will comply with the requirements of the above Act. It may be processed by computer and is required for operational, managerial information and associated purposes relevant to the maintenance of the Department’s systems. Such data may also be used to produce depersonalised statistics.

I agree
