This school is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and expects all staff to share this commitment.  Should you require any further information, please do not hesitate to contact Amanda Nicoll, Subject Leader of Geography nicolla@colfox.dorset.sch.uk or 01308 422291.  Visits to the school are also warmly accepted.

Keep Children Safe in Education  

The Minerva Learning Trust will conduct online searches of shortlisted candidates.  This check will be part of a safeguarding check, and the search will purely be based on whether an individual is suitable to work with children.  As care must be taken to avoid unconscious bias and any risk of discrimination a person who will not be on the appointment panel will conduct the search and will only share information if and when findings are relevant and of concern.  

The Minerva Learning Trust is committed to safeguarding and all successful applicants will be vetted through a DBS check
