Recruitment of Ex-Offenders

As posts at Shaftesbury Park Primary School are exempt from the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974, all applicants are required to declare any convictions, cautions, reprimands and final warnings 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 2013).

Whilst having a criminal record will not necessarily bar you from working at Shaftesbury Park Primary School, providing false information or failing to disclose any convictions, cautions, reprimands or final warnings that are not protected could result in your application being rejected or your dismissal from employment if you are appointed.  The matter may also be referred to the police if we consider that you may have committed a criminal offence.
