Please provide details of two people to whom a reference request may be made. The first referee would normally be your present or most recent employer. We would expect this to be the Headteacher (or equivalent person) if you are currently working in a school. If you are not currently working with children but have done so previously, please provide a referee from your most recent employment involving work with children. References will not be accepted from relatives or from people writing solely in the capacity as friends.
In compliance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), please be aware of the data we will collect and process when requesting your references. Reference requests sent to your referees will ask the referee to confirm, as a minimum:
* the referee's relationship with the candidate
* details of the applicant's current post and salary
* performance history whilst in post
* all formal, time-limited capability warnings which have not passed the expiration date
* all formal, time-limited disciplinary warnings not relating to safeguarding concerns which have not passed the expiration date
* all disciplinary action where the penalty is "time expired" and relate to safeguarding concerns
* details of any concerns relating to safeguarding and child protection, and where applicable, the outcome of any relevant investigation or enquiries
* whether the referee has any reservations as to the candidate's suitability to work with children. If so, the school will ask for specific details of the concerns and the reasons why the referee believes the candidate may be unsuitable to work with children.
In line with the statutory guidance set out in Keeping Children Safe in Education, it is normal practice to take up references on shortlisted candidates prior to interview. The school will observe a request not to approach a current employer at this stage in the recruitment process, on the basis that, in any event, satisfactory references will be sought and confirmed as part of a conditional offer of employment.
Successful applicants for teaching posts will be required to provide evidence of their QTS status and registration with The Regulations Agency (TRA).
The DBS Update Service will be checked as part of a conditional offer to the preferred candidate. The personal information collected in Part 1 and Part 2 of the application form will be processed in compliance with the GDPR and associated Data Protection regulations. In completing and submitting the application form, you give your consent for the information provided to be processed as part of the recruitment and selection process administered by the school.
The Equality Act 2010 places a general duty on Shropshire Council and its schools to promote equality. It is a matter of policy and practice that no person, whether a job applicant, employee, service user or third party receives any less favourable treatment because of their gender, marital status, family status, lifestyle, age, ethnicity, religion, sexual orientation, disability, political affiliation, trade union membership or any other condition or requirement which cannot be shown to be justifiable.
