References

A referee who is a current or former employer should have full access to the applicant's personal records, to the extent that this is achievable in compliance with the General Data Protection Regulation.  Schools / Academies / Colleges of a Religious Character (in England only) are permitted, when recruiting Support Staff to give preference to applicants who are Catholic where attaching this requirement to the post is a proportionate means of achieving a legitimate aim (commonly known as a "genuine occupational requirement").

If you are a practising Catholic, you should nominate as one of your referees your Parish Priest / the Priest of the Parish where you regularly worship. 

If you are Catholic but do not consider yourself to be "practising", you may (as an alternative to nominating your Parish Priest as a referee), provide a copy of your baptism certificate, or the name and address of the parish where you were baptised and the date of your baptism. 

In requesting a Priest's reference or baptismal information, it is not our intention to deter applications and non-Catholics are welcome to apply.  Please see the Notes to Applicants for further guidance.  It is the responsibility of the Applicant to ensure that all named referees, including Parish Priests, where applicable, have consented to providing a reference.  Please also ensure that you complete and return the consent to obtain references form with your application.

In accordance with Keeping Children Safe in Education we will obtain and scrutinise references prior to interview and referees will be contacted to provide further clarification as appropriate.  All information provided by referees will also be compared for consistency with the information you provide on this form and you will be asked about any discrepancies.  Please advise if you do not want us to take up references at this stage and provide reasons.

Referees will also be asked for information about:

  • All disciplinary offences (including those where the penalty is "time expired" if related to children); and
  • All child protection allegations including the outcome of any child protection investigations.

You are advised to read the relevant section of the Notes to Applicants before completing this section. 

If any of your referees knew you by another name, please specify that name alongside the details of the relevant referee.
