Following the shortlisting stage, and prior to making a final decision, the Trust/School will collect and process information publicly available about you by conducting a brief online search using an internet search engine. We do this to ensure that the school acts in accordance with its obligations set out in the latest version of KCSiE.
By signing the application form I understand that I am giving my consent for the Trust/School to carry out an online search if I am shortlisted for this post. The search would be part of the Trust/School's due diligence in line with the latest KCSIE guidance and would be limited to identifying any incidents or issues that have happened and are publicly available online. I understand that the Trust/School might want to explore any such incidents or issues with me at interview.
