Safeguarding
PGS is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment.
Applicants will be required to undergo child protection screening appropriate to the post, including checks with previous employers and the Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS). The School may carry out online searches on shortlisted applicants.
The safeguarding responsibilities of each post are included in the job description for each vacancy.
All posts are exempt from the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974. The School is therefore permitted to ask job applicants to declare all convictions and cautions on a self-declaration form in advance of attending an interview (including those which are "spent" unless they are "protected" under the DBS filtering rules) in order to assess their suitability to work with children.
Our Safeguarding and Child Protection Policy and Procedure can be found on our Policies & Reports page.
