CONFIRMATION OF SAFEGUARDING CHECKS ON STAFF/WORKERS:
Starks Field Primary School ensures that all relevant pre-employment checks are carried out on employees and workers engaged directly by the school. All staff are required to sign an annual declaration to confirm that there has been no change to their criminal record and that they are not disqualified under the Childcare Disqualification Regulations.
