The Childcare Act 2006 and the Childcare (Disqualification) Regulations 2018
Please find attached a copy of the Department for Education Disqualification under the Childcare Act 2006 – statutory guidance. It sets out the circumstances in which individuals are disqualified from undertaking certain childcare work (relevant childcare work) under the relevant statutory provisions. As part of our safeguarding checks we are required to check whether any candidates who are seeking work that involves relevant childcare work are ‘disqualified’ from carrying out that type of work. Individuals may be disqualified because they have either been convicted of a relevant offence or are subject to a relevant order. Please review the statutory guidance which provides further details and sign below if you can confirm the following:
I confirm that:
• I have read the statutory guidance
• I am not disqualified on any of the grounds set out in the statutory guidance
• I will notify ASEND immediately if any of the above changes
We are required to notify you that is a criminal offence for you to work in a relevant childcare role or to be directly concerned with the management of such provision if you are disqualified under the relevant statutory provisions.
If you are disqualified we will not be able to place you/supply you into a role that involves relevant childcare work. However, as set out in the statutory guidance you may be able to apply to Ofsted for a waiver of disqualification and you should contact Ofsted directly for details of the application process.
I declare that to the best of my knowledge all the information I have given is correct. I understand that false information could lead to police investigation and removal from the ASEND database. I agree that my registration will only be complete on the receipt of satisfactory references and a cleared check from the Disclosure and Barring Service. I will inform you immediately if I am engaged in permanent employment after ASEND's introduction or temporary placement. I agree to ASEND holding all personal information received about me on file and that no information will be passed to any third parties other than prospective employees or agents of ASEND engaged in finding you employment.
