Additional important information
On appointment, every individual involved in governance will require an enhanced DBS check.
This is a simple process and involves completing an online form and providing your academy with proof of your identity.
Local governors will also be required to declare their employment details, any interests they may have with the academy or the trust (both financial and non-pecuniary), and any voluntary positions they already hold. This is so that the trust can ensure they remain transparent with declaring any potential conflict of interests.
