Vetting Checks for Contractor Staff Working on Site at St George's Weybridge

St George’s Weybridge needs to have written assurance from you/your company of the following:

That you have carried out all relevant checks (as listed below) on all individuals employed by you /your company who will work with or provide services to pupils at the School under the contract;
That you undertake to carry out such checks on all future staff recruited by you/your company to carry out work under the contract;
That you will keep and maintain records of such checks; and
That you will allow me or a person authorised by the School to inspect such records at any reasonable time.

The following checks are required to have been completed before you / any individuals employed by you /your company can commence work at the School and undertake regulated activity as defined by the Safeguarding Vulnerable Groups Act 2006:

Verification of identity against an official document containing a photograph of the individual, such as a passport or photo card driving licence;
Verification of address against a utility bill from within the last three months;
An enhanced disclosure from the Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS);
A check of the Children's Barred List;
Receipt of two satisfactory written references and confirmation that there are no concerns about the individual working with children;
Confirmation that information generated through online searches does not make the individual unsuitable to work at the School;
Confirmation that each of your employees who will work at the School has provided proof of qualifications that are a legal requirement for the post they will be undertaking;
Verification of their right to work in the United Kingdom;
A check of their full employment history with any gaps explained to your satisfaction;
Verification that the individual is medically fit for the role; and
Where the person who will work at the School has lived outside the United Kingdom for three months or more in the last 5 years, confirmation that an overseas criminal records check or other appropriate check has been carried out where obtaining a DBS disclosure is not sufficient to establish their suitability to work with children.

The School will check the identity of all individuals employed by you/your company before they can commence work at the School. All such individuals must therefore provide a current passport or photo card driving licence on arrival to the School site. For the avoidance of doubt no one will be permitted to commence work at the School until this evidence is provided.

Where the DBS disclosure reveals any disclosable information (or you have/the company has received information in accordance with the Police Act 1997), that DBS disclosure must be produced to the School so that it can consider whether the individual is suitable to attend the School. The School may also need to complete its own checks before the individual can commence work.

If you have any questions relating to the aforementioned checks please contact Jo Lander, Director of Human Resources on 01932 839446 or jlander@stgeorgesweybridge.com.
