Please provide details of two people to whom reference may be made. The first referee should normally be your present or most recent Headteacher or equivalent person. If you are not currently working with children please provide a referee from your most recent employment involving children. Referees will be asked about all disciplinary offences which may include those where the penalty is “time expired” if related to children. Referees will also be asked whether you have been the subject of any child protection concerns, and if so, the outcome of any enquiry. References will not be accepted from relatives or from people writing solely in the capacity of friends.

It is normal practice to take up references on shortlisted candidates prior to interview. This is in line with the most recent version of Keeping Children Safe in Education statutory guidance.
