it is a criminal offence for someone who is disqualified to knowingly seek or accept work (or continue to work) in a ‘regulated activity position’. therefore, in addition to interviews applicants will be required to undertake pre-employment checks which will include references, health, right to work in uk, overseas criminal checks, enhanced dbs and barred list checks and if applicable a check under the dfe childcare disqualification regulations 2009.

keeping children safe in education states the need for schools to conduct an “online search as part of their due diligence on the shortlisted candidates.” the purpose of the online check is to help identify any incidents or issues that have happened, and are publicly available online, which the school / setting might want to explore with the applicant at interview, to establish their suitability to work with children. the online check forms are one part of the school’s pre-employment checks process.
