A complaints procedure exists to enable any candidate who feels that they have been unfairly treated to have their complaint investigated.

Disability Discrimination Act (1995) Disabled candidates who meet the essential criteria in the person specification will automatically be offered an interview. The Disabled Discrimination Act 1995 defines a disability as a physical or mental impairment which has a substantial and long-term adverse effect on a persons ability to carry out normal day-to-day activities. Criminal Convictions Some posts at the College are exempt from the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974 and you are required to declare any criminal convictions, cautions and bind-overs, including those regarded as spent under the Act. This particularly relates to posts where there is substantial access to young children or students with special needs. Disclosing a criminal conviction will not automatically disqualify you from being considered for the post. The College will determine whether your conviction needs to be considered depending on the type of post for which you have applied. Failure to disclose a criminal conviction would be a disciplinary matter which may lead to dismissal if you would not have been offered the post had the conviction been known. If you have a conviction, further details should be attached in a sealed envelope. Please complete the section honestly. The successful applicant for any post exempt from the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974 will be required to give consent for the College to check your criminal record status through independent verification (List 99 and CRB Checks). Information will be kept in the strictest confidence. Your offer of employment will be subject to the College being satisfied with the outcome of these checks.
