Safeguarding
Protection of Children: Disclosure of Criminal Background
This school is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expects all staff and volunteers to share this approach. Any positions with Leicester High School for Girls that have access to young people will be subject to clearance through the Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS). It is for this reason that all prospective employees are exempted from the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974, and we require all pending prosecutions, convictions (whether or not they are spent), cautions and bind-overs to be disclosed. Any convictions that are not relevant to the job will not prejudice any application. Any offer of employment to an exempted post will be subject to criminal clearance.
Equal Opportunities
Leicester High School actively operates and promotes a policy of Equal Opportunities to our partners and employees.
It is the School’s policy to employ the best qualified personnel and provide equal opportunity for the advancement of employees including promotion and training and not to discriminate against any person because of race, colour, ethnic origin, national origin, sex, sexual orientation, religion or belief, pregnancy, trans-gender status, marital or civil partnership status, age or disability.
