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.
