Commitment to safeguarding

King's Group Academies are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and expects all staff and volunteers to share this. Successful candidates will be subject to a DBS along with other employment checks. It is a criminal offence to apply for or accept a position working with children if you are excluded from such work by virtue of a court order or exclusion by the DBS. Although a criminal record involving offences against children is likely to debar you from this type of post, the existence of other criminal convictions will not necessarily be a bar to employment.
