7 A, B, C, D, E: Disclsure r gd behaviur certificates Fr secnded teachers (B) this is the respnsibility f the recruiting natinal authrities. On appintment the dcuments are requested and becme part f the persnal file f the secnded teacher. Shuld there be any reasn fr the schl t require anther certificate during the nine-year perid this will be requested frm the natinal and lcal authrities All lcally emplyed staff (D) have t prvide a certificate f gd behaviur frm the lcal authrities befre they can be emplyed at the schl, and it is a cnditin f the recruitment prcess that they prvide this, as well as have apprval frm the relevant natinal r subject inspectr. The schl will request a new certificate if there is any reasn fr it (fr example, in the case f staff wh have been emplyed fr a lng time at the schl). This includes all staff wh wrk at the schl, even if they are nt emplyed face-t-face with the children (including AAS) Teachers f religin (C) are emplyed differently frm the ther lcally emplyed staff. In the newest cntract is the fllwing statement: Right frm the time when the Eurpean Schls were first set up, religin classes were taught by part-time teachers appinted by the cmpetent religius authrities and paid by the schls. The phrase cmpetent authrities is present in all three cntracts, and therefre the schl needs t check n the dcumentatin which exists and update this infrmatin as necessary. All thers (E) wh are at the schl and wh wrk with children, including students ding placements in the schl, r parents accmpanying residential schl trips r parents wh are helpers in classes r in the library, have t prvide a certificate befre they can be with the children (even if they d nt have a cntract with the schl, r wh are emplyed by the schl) The Parents Assciatin cmmittee members are nt emplyees f the schl, but as they spend a significant amunt f time in the schl, they wrk with parents, students and teachers, and because they are invlved in a wide range f schl events in which there is significant cntact with children, they shuld als prvide a certificate frm the lcal authrities which is kept by the administratin Fr the CPP t be effective it will be necessary fr the schl t check the files f all emplyees t see that the certificates f gd behaviur are in place, and where they are nt fr any reasn, r if they are mre than 10 years ld, the staff cncerned will be requested t prvide a new ne. Fr the purpses f the CPP at this stage f its develpment this will mean in practice that any certificatin prir t September 2002 will need t be updated. Once this has been dne it shuld be the plicy f the schl t update the certificatin every 5 years. Updated 09/10/2012 7/12
