An updated version of the Childcare Disqualification Requirements guidance notes has been uploaded onto the HR section of the Extranet, further to an update to the regulations on 31 August 2018. The main change is that disqualification by association no longer applies to schools, so these questions have been removed from the declaration form in Appendix 1. Schools can no longer ask staff questions about cautions or convictions of someone living or working in their household. Please ensure that the new form is used for new employees who work in ‘relevant work’ in ‘relevant settings’. If you have any questions on the new guidance document, please contact your HR Advisor.
The School Asset Support Team are pleased to introduce their first issue of the School Estate Bulletin. For further information, please see below.
The Cameron Grant Memorial Trust was established by Carol and Evan Grant to mark their son’s life. Cameron took his own life in November 2014 aged just 21. He suffered from depression for seven years before he died, but managed to hide this from his family and everyone who knew him. For more information about the charitable aims of the Trust, please click link below. The website also has details of how you can participate in a ‘night walk’ to raise money for the charity and order ‘Cameron’s coasters’. The purpose of the coasters is to encourage those with poor mental health to speak up and ask for help.
