Safeguarding Statement
We are committed to safeguarding, prevent and promoting the welfare of young people and vulnerable adults and expects all staff to share this commitment. As part of our safeguarding & prevent commitment, appointment to any post is subject to satisfactory references being obtained, receipt of a satisfactory Enhanced Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) disclosure, online checks and other onboarding requirements in line with the Keeping Children Safe in Education Guidelines.
Disability Statement
The organisation encourages the development of an environment in which diversity is valued. An important part of putting this into practice is a commitment to prohibit discrimination on the grounds of disability in all employment matters, to increase employment opportunities for people who have a disability and to ensure that its recruitment and selection processes are fully accessible.
The ideal of accessibility underpins this Statement and includes not only access to the built environment, but also to information and services. Furthermore, it means independent access, or, at least, access with minimal assistance. An important step towards becoming more welcoming to people with disabilities is understanding that services, methods of working and the built environment may themselves be enabling or disabling.
All Organisation staff, students, visitors, and contractors are expected to treat people with disabilities with respect.
Discrimination in recruitment, selection or employment is treated seriously by the Organisation and could provide grounds for disciplinary action. Furthermore, individuals who discriminate on the grounds of disability may be liable under the Equality Act 2010
Equal Opportunities Statement:
We are proud to be an equal opportunities employer and positively welcomes applications from all suitably qualified and experienced people. We celebrate diversity and are committed to creating an inclusive environment for all our employees.
