Do you consider yourself to have a disability as defined in the Equality Act 2010?

If you have a medical condition, the Equality Act 2010 requires employers to make reasonable adjustments to the job content or working environment. To achieve this, we need to know whether you are covered. Definition of Disability: “A physical or mental impairment which has a substantial and long-term effect on a person’s ability to carry out normal day-to-day activities in a non-work environment.”

What is your sexual orientation? (As defined in the Equality Act 2010)

Online Searches

In line with recommended practice in the statutory guidance “Keeping Children Safe in Education", the Trust will conduct searches for information on shortlisted candidates which is publicly available on-line. The purpose is limited:

• to identify issues which call into question the applicant’s suitability to work with children;

• to verify employment history.

Searches will be conducted by an appropriate third-party organisation. Only information related to the purposes stated will be shared with the Interview Panel. Any information will be discussed with candidates at interview before any decisions regarding the recruitment process are made.

By selecting yes, you are giving your consent for the online search to be undertaken. Please note, as this is a statutory requirement, if consent is not given, this may affect your application. * Yes No

Declaration

Please read the following statements and information relating to your application carefully.

By signing and submitting this form you certify and confirm the declarations are true to the best of your knowledge.

Declaration

I certify that, to the best of my belief, the information I have provided is true and I understand that any false information will result, in the event of employment, in disciplinary investigation by The Sigma Trust, and is likely to result in dismissal.

Disclosure of Criminal convictions

Short-listed candidates will be asked to complete a Self-Disclosure Form (SD2) and, where appropriate, a disclosure/status check will be sought from the Disclosure and Barring Service in the event of a successful application.

A conviction/caution/reprimand will not necessarily be a bar to obtaining employment, save in the case of management positions where a S128 Direction issued by the Secretary of State will prohibit employment.

Safer Recruitment and Childcare Disqualification Checks

I certify that I am not disqualified from working with children or subject to sanctions imposed by a regulatory body which would restrict me from applying for this post.

Shortlisted candidates applying for a relevant post in a school setting covered by the Childcare (Disqualification) Regulations 2009 (“the Regulations”) will be asked to complete a Disqualification Declaration Form. A disqualified person may only be employed in a relevant post if they obtain a waiver from Ofsted. By signing this application form you acknowledge and consent to completing the Disqualification Declaration Form if you are shortlisted for a relevant post in a setting covered by the Regulations.

I acknowledge that by completing this form the Trust will hold and process personal data (including special categories of data e.g. information about health) about me in line with their data protection policy. I acknowledge that the Trust will use/process this information for the duration of the recruitment process.
