All post holders within the College require to be vetted to an enhanced level through Disclosure Scotland. In the College environment, staff may have contact with school children, young people and vulnerable adults and we place a high emphasis on personal security.
The College will act within Disclosure Scotland's Code of Practice to ensure that:
- Disclosure information released will be used properly and fairly.
- Disclosure information is handled and stored appropriately and is kept for only as long as necessary and thereafter disposed of securely.
Employment with the College is exempt from the provisions of Sections 4(2) and 4(3)b of the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974 by virtue of the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974 (Exclusions and Exceptions) (Scotland) Order 2003 (as amended). Applicants should note that declaration of a criminal conviction will not preclude employment with the College and we will apply the terms of our Policy on the Recruitment of Ex-Offenders.
We are required to conduct checks on all prospective staff to ensure they are eligible to work in the UK. Where a work permit is required, this must be obtained prior to the commencement of employment.
Pre-employment medical screening is also a normal part of our selection process. This is co-ordinated through our occupational health provider and applicants should note that the College does not see any medical detail or information. We will use the information provided by our occupational health service to consider appropriate support and adjustments where reasonable and necessary.
