Commitment to Safeguarding
At Southill Primary, we are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people. We expect all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. As part of our recruitment process, we will conduct online searches of shortlisted candidates. This process is an integral part of our safeguarding checks to assess the suitability of individuals to work with children. The search will encompass various aspects of social media and internet presence. To prevent unconscious bias and discrimination, the searches will be conducted by an individual who is not part of the appointment panel and the information will only be shared if the findings are relevant and of concern.
We welcome you to visit our school to meet our children and staff. Please contact the school office if you wish to visit the school.
Please note, we are unable to take on any Early Career Teachers (ECTs) at this time.
