Safeguarding:
In order that the school complies with the Government's 'Keeping Children Safe in Education' guidance, please be aware that a condition of any hire is that any hirer who uses the school on weekdays between 7:00am and 6:00pm during the school term, and who runs a club or any other activity, MUST have enhanced DBS clearance (that is less than 3 years old) and MUST present the clearance details to the school so that we can record the details.
Additionally for regular hirers, an agreement will need to be signed that appropriate safeguarding and child protection policies and procedures are in place in your organisation and that your organisation manages safeguarding concerns properly, as well as upholding British Values and that the school may vet policies and procedures at any time and terminate the facilities hire agreement if it is felt that the above are not in place or are non-compliant.
