EXPLANATORY NOTE

(This note is not part of the Order)


These Regulations amend the School Staffing (England) Regulations 2003 ("the School Staffing Regulations").

The School Staffing Regulations require that teachers and support staff in maintained schools meet specified requirements as to qualifications, health, physical capacity and the absence of any bar from working with children.The amendments made to regulations 11 and 20 of the School Staffing Regulations by these Regulations add an additional requirement that subject to exceptions a person appointed to be a teacher or member of the support staff must, prior to or as soon as practicable after, his appointment be subject to an enhanced Criminal Records Bureau check made under the Police Act 1997.The same requirement is imposed in relation to supply teachers employed by local education authorities.

The requirements do not apply to persons who have worked in a school or an institution within the further education sector not more than three months before their appointment, nor to foreign nationals for whom a Criminal Records Bureau check is not appropriate.In the case of foreign nationals the employer (the local education authority or governing body, depending on the type of school) must carry out such checks as they think appropriate having regard to any guidance from the Secretary of State.
