Safeguarding

Safeguarding is everyone’s responsibility

Bluecoat SCITT Alliance is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people, as well as trainees, apprentices and leadership programme participants. All staff, and everyone involved in the Bluecoat SCITT Alliance trainee placements shares this commitment, and are therefore expected to behave in such a way that supports this commitment.

A start date for successful applicants will not be confirmed until clearance from all the above checks has been obtained. Please note that the DBS check will reveal all convictions, reprimands, cautions and bindovers even if considered spent within the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act. There is a DBS Code of Practice which governs this process. A copy of the Code of Practice is available at https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/dbs-code-of-practice
