Commitment to safeguarding
Morley Place is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people. We expect all workers, volunteers and employees to share this commitment. All appointments are subject to satisfactory pre-employment checks, including a satisfactory Enhanced Criminal Record with Barred List check through the Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS). It is an offence to apply for the role if an applicant is barred from engaging in regulated activity relevant to children (where the role involves this type of regulated activity). A conviction may not exclude candidates from appointment but will be considered as part of the recruitment process.
