This will include details of cautions, reprimands or final warnings as well as convictions that are not filtered as defined by the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974 (Exceptions) Order 1975 (as amended in 2013). Please note that a criminal record will not necessarily be a bar to obtaining a position, please refer to our Recruitment of Ex-Offenders Policy which is included in our Welcome Handbook.

Applying for a position which is exempt from the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974, requires you to disclose information about both spent and unspent convictions. You are not required to declare any information about ‘protected’ offences (offences to which the filtering rules apply). If you require further information regarding convictions which are unspent/spent or protected please follow this link to the Ministry of Justice guidance or you will find additional guidance in our Welcome Handbook (a paper copy is available on request), or you can contact organisations such as NACRO or Unlock for further assistance.

Failure to declare a conviction may require us to exclude you from our register if the offence is not declared but later comes to light. If you are working in an assignment with a client at the time that we are made aware of a conviction that you have not disclosed to us, we may be legally required to inform our client of that information and your assignment may be terminated.

Do you have any convictions or cautions (excluding youth cautions, reprimands or warnings) that are not ‘protected’ as defined by the Ministry of Justice, in either the UK or overseas? *YesNo

All information will be handled sensitively and in accordance with the Disclosure and Barring Service Code of Practice and current Data Protection Regulations.

In accordance with Keeping Children safe in education Statutory Guidance Reeson Education is required to supply clients with a copy of a candidate’s disclosure when information is contained therein.

If you have declared any convictions you are welcome to provide us with a statement and any additional information that you think may be relevant and which will help us to determine your suitability to be put forward for roles with our clients. This could include for example information about the circumstances of the offence, any work (paid or voluntary) or training that you have undertaken since, changes in your circumstances etc.

I understand I will be required to take my DBS certificate on my first day working at any client school though Reeson.

DECLARATION FOR TEMPORARY WORKERS

The following is only required if you are looking for Temporary Positions. If you are looking for Permanent Positions only, this declaration is not required.

This declaration is required for new HMRC regulations that came into force April 2016 and IR35 rules, it looks complicated but in brief it is just confirming that you are not a sole trader and that you don’t hold more than 5% of the shares in the schools we work with.

I confirm that:

I do not operate as a sole trader;
I also confirm that any limited or umbrella company that I provide or will be providing my services through is:
an associated company of the client’s company (i.e. one company controls the other or both companies are under the control of myself alone, or myself and other people); and/or that
neither myself or any of my associates*, alone or together with other associates have:
the beneficial ownership of, or the ability to control, directly or through the medium of other companies or by any other indirect means, more than 5% of the ordinary share capital of the limited/umbrella company; and/ or
possession of, or entitlement to acquire, rights entitling myself or my associate(s) to receive more than 5% of any distributions that may be made by the limited/umbrella company; or
In the case of a close company, possession of, or entitlement to acquire, rights that would in the event of the winding up of the limited/umbrella company, or in any other circumstances, entitle myself or my associate(s) to receive more than 5% of the assets that would then be available for distribution among any person who has a share or interest in the income or capital of the limited/umbrella company (e.g. a loan creditor or person entitled to acquire share capital or voting rights).
*An associate in this section includes any relative or partner of yours (including a spouse or civil partner, parent, grandparent or great grandparent, child, grandchild or great grandchild, or a brother or sister). It also includes the trustees of any settlement in relation to which you or any of your relatives (living or dead) is a settlor; or if you have an interest in any shares or obligations of a company which are subject to any trust, the trustees of any settlement concerned.
Where I will be providing services as a member of a partnership, I also confirm that:
I am not entitled to 60% or more of the profits of the partnership, either alone or with one or more relatives (i.e. a spouse or civil partner, anyone I live with as a spouse or civil partner, brother or sister, parent or child or remoter relation in the direct line e.g. grandparent, great grandparent, grandchild, great grandchild and so on.); and/or that
most of the profits of the partnership are not derived from the provision of services to a single client, or a single client and its associates, under engagements which fall inside IR35**; and/or that
under the profit sharing arrangements the income of any of the partners is not based on the amount of income generated by that partner by the provision of services under engagements which fall inside IR35**.
** An engagement will fall “inside IR35” where you, or a partner personally performs services for a client, or are under an obligation to do so, as an employee or office holder under the client, or under circumstances where you/the partner would be regarded as an employee or office holder under the client for income tax purposes if the services were provided under a contract between you/the partner and the client directly, instead of through the partnership.
I confirm that the information above is true and accurate and understand that Reeson Education may require proof that the above conditions have been met.
I agree to notify Reeson Education immediately and in any event within 24 hours if any of the conditions set out above change.
I understand that I may be removed from an assignment if the information above is not truthful or accurate and/or if I fail to notify Reeson Education of any changes within the timescale set out above.
I also understand that a failure to provide truthful and accurate information and/or to notify Reeson Education of any changes within the timescale set out above may cause Reeson Education to suffer loss and that Reeson Education reserves the right to recover such losses from me directly.

I have read and confirm the above:

Sharing my data with the Recruitment and Employment Confederation

Our agency is a member of the Recruitment and Employment Confederation (REC) and holds the REC Audited award. In order to obtain the REC Audited award, members must complete an online diagnostic and after that, a REC auditor will visit them at one or more branches to check their processes and documentation. A key part of this on-site audit (or compliance review) is a random check on a number of work-seeker files, including both paper and electronic files. These files will contain personal data such as your name, address, data of birth, national insurance no., right to work checks and any qualifications or licences you may need to do the role(s) you have been introduced or supplied into. They may also include special categories of data such as racial or ethnic origin, religion or religious beliefs, health information or criminal records. The REC wants to know that the agency complies with all legislation relevant to its work-finding services. Though it checks files to see that the agency has complied with its legal obligations and Code of Professional Practice the REC does not take copies of any personal data during the audit.

More information on REC Audits and the information which they might access can be found here

I understand that the agency wants to apply for the REC Audited/ REC Audited Education award. As part of the application process, and to ensure the agency’s compliance with relevant legislation, the REC may wish to look at my work-seeker file which includes personal data (including special categories of data such as health information or DBS check). I understand that the REC will not (a) copy any of my personal data or (b) share my personal data with any other person or organisation. *YesNo
