Safeguarding our pupils is of paramount importance, and our volunteers must share our commitment to child protection.  

To ensure we’re upholding our responsibility to keep our pupils safe, we will: 

• Conduct enhanced DBS checks with a barred list check on volunteers who: 

• • Work 1-on-1 with pupils unsupervised 

• • Work with groups of pupils unsupervised 

• Consider the results of any DBS checks that return with unspent and spent listed convictions, and assess these on a case-by-case basis, with regard given to the nature of the conviction and the nature of the work the volunteer will be involved in 

• Provide safeguarding training to all volunteers prior to them beginning work at the school, including ensuring that they have read and understood part 1 of Keeping Children Safe in Education.
