Scope

This Policy applies to all those who work or are applying to work in roles within the Authority and within organisations for which the Authority acts as an umbrella body, including:

  • Job Applicants
  • Existing employees
  • Casual or temporary staff
  • Volunteers and prospective volunteers

For Schools, it is recommended that the governing body should formally adopt this policy.

This Policy will be made available to all job applicants at the start of the recruitment process via the Council’s Jobs and Careers web page and to all staff via the Council’s Intranet. Prospective and existing volunteers will be directed to the Council’s Jobs and Careers web page. For jobs advertised via Eteach.com, this policy should be provided to applicants within the set of recruitment documents.

This will enable any person who objects to the vetting process, for whatever reason, to withdraw their application early in the recruitment process.

Organisations for which the Council provides an umbrella function must also make this policy available to their job applicants, staff, and volunteers.
