EQUAL OPPORTUNITIES MONITORING 

It is the policy of the Board of Governors of Ulidia Integrated College that all eligible persons will have equal opportunity for employment and advancement in the College, irrespective of perceived religious belief, political opinion, gender, disability or race. 

Selection for employment and advancement will be on the basis of ability, qualifications, and aptitude to carry out the duties of the post. 

In order to fulfil its legal obligation under the Fair Employment and Treatment (NI) Order 1998 and to ensure that its Equal Opportunities Policy Statement is effectively implemented, the Board of Governors is monitoring job applicants. 

The monitoring of staff involves a comparison of recruitment and career progression of applicants with regard to sex, marital status and disability. 

Access to this information will be strictly controlled and will not be available to those considering your application for employment.  Monitoring will involve the use of statistical summaries of information in which the identities of individuals will not appear.  

This information will not be available for any purpose other than Equal Opportunities Monitoring.  Whilst the Board of Governors will seek to maintain the confidentiality of all documentation relating to appointments, disclosure of documentation may be required under the provisions of the equality legislation applicable in Northern Ireland.

ULIDIA INTEGRATED COLLEGE

GUIDANCE FOR APPLICANTS

The following notes should be read in full before an application is submitted. 

APPLICATION FORMS 

Completed application forms along with Equal Opportunities Monitoring Questionnaire should be POSTED OR DELIVERED IN PERSON TO THE PRINCIPAL’S SECRETARY, ULIDIA INTEGRATED COLLEGE, 112 VICTORIA ROAD, CARRICKFERGUS, BT38 7JL to be received by the specified time and date.  Receipts will be issued for all forms delivered in person.  

The College will not accept responsibility for application forms delivered by any other method or to any other location.  APPLICATION FORMS RECEIVED AFTER THE CLOSING TIME AND DATE WILL NOT BE CONSIDERED.  The Equal Opportunities Questionnaire should not be separated from the application form. 

It is the responsibility of applicants to ensure that the application form is fully and correctly completed, signed and that all relevant information in support of their application is included. Applicants are strongly advised to carefully consider the job description and the requirements for the post and ensure that their application includes all pertinent details. 

CHILD PROTECTION

Posts which require people to work in educational institutions or in posts where there is access to
children/young people are deemed to be regulated positions within the terms of the Protection of Children and Vulnerable Adults (NI) Order 2003 (POCVA).

As such, if the post for which you are applying is a regulated position, you are required to provide information on your suitability to work with children and young people. The above Order requires the Department of Education and Department of Health, Social Services & Public Safety to maintain lists of people who are unsuitable for this type of work. It is an offence for anyone whose name appears on these lists, or who is the subject of a disqualification order from the courts, to apply for, offer to do, accept or do any work, paid or unpaid in a regulated position.

For all such posts, the Board of Governors will carry out pre-employment vetting checks through the criminal records branch of the PSNI. 

The recruitment and selection process has been reviewed to introduce additional safeguards against the employment of people who are unsuitable to work with children and young people. Changes are detailed in the relevant paragraphs throughout this document.

REHABILITATION OF OFFENDERS

Teaching positions are exempt from the provisions of the Rehabilitation of Offenders Order. This means that applicants are not entitled to withhold information about convictions, cautions or bind-over’s which for other purposes are considered as spent, including road traffic and motoring offences. Appointment to all relevant posts will be subject to satisfactory completion of a criminal record check.

COMPLETION OF APPLICATION FORM

It is the responsibility of applicants to ensure that the application form is fully and correctly completed and
signed and that all relevant information in support of their application is included. Applicants are strongly
advised to carefully consider the job description and the criteria for the post and to ensure that their
application includes all pertinent details and demonstrates clearly how they meet the criteria for the post.

It should be noted that shortlisting will be based solely upon the information provided by the applicant on
the form. Members of the shortlisting panel are not permitted to take into consideration information known
to them personally about any applicant.

QUALIFICATIONS

Applicants must ensure that full and accurate details of qualifications including subject, level of
qualification, examining body, grade and year are provided. If you are currently studying for a qualification
or have a result pending, please ensure that you indicate this clearly on the form. A formal offer of
employment is conditional on receipt of original documentary proof of qualifications.

PRESENT/PREVIOUS EMPLOYMENT DETAILS

When listing current and previous employment details, applicants must ensure that dates are correct and that
the information is provided in date order with the most recent first. Applicants must provide an explanation
for gaps in employment history. 

Applicants for posts in regulated positions ie posts involving work in educational institutions or involving access to children/young people, may be required to explain gaps in their employment history during the interview process.

The advertised qualifications and experience requirements are the minimum levels required for the post. On receipt of significant numbers of applications, enhanced/desirable shortlisting criteria may have to be applied in order to reach a manageable number of candidates.

REFERENCES

Applicants are required to provide details of three persons to whom reference may be made regarding their suitability for appointment. For regulated positions, ie posts involving work in educational institutions or access to children or young people, at least one of the referees should be a present or previous employer who can comment on their suitability to work with children/young people. If you are applying for your first post and do not have a previous employer, a University tutor or Principal of a school where you undertook teaching practice or placement is also acceptable. 

The referees cannot be members of the selection panel for this post or members of the Board of Governors of the school to which the application is being made. Prior consent of referees must be obtained. It should be noted that appointment to regulated postions will be conditional on receipt of satisfactory references.

CANVASSING

Canvassing means contact or communication at any time in any manner (direct, indirect, oral or written, specific or general) with a  member of the Board of Governors of a school involved in the recruitment of the post for which the person has applied which could be deemed or perceived to be for the purpose of advancing that application. Any applicant who is found to have approached a panel member for a post with a view to seeking favourable treatment will be disqualified.

DATA PROTECTION

Applicants must ensure that the details provided on the application form are correct. The data provided will
be processed in accordance with the Data Protection Act 1998. The information will be used to:
• process your application;
• form the basis of the computerised and manual record of the recruitment and monitoring process;
• form the basis of a computerised and manual employment record if appointed.

All forms and associated documentation will be treated in the strictest confidence. However, in the case of
an applicant taking a legal case against the Board, it may be necessary to disclose information to the parties involved. The documents may also be disclosed to the Equality Commission during the course of investigations resulting from claims of discrimination.

INTERVIEW ARRANGEMENTS

Candidates for regulated positions will be required to provide photographic evidence of their identity at interview. This can be a driving licence, passport, electoral identity card or a national identity card if the person is a foreign national. You may be refused an interview if you do not comply with this requirement.

Interviews will not be rescheduled to accommodate candidates who are unable to attend on the agreed date due to reasons such as holidays, as this may be viewed as preferential treatment

If a candidate fails to present him or herself for interview, it will be deemed that they have withdrawn from the selection process.

If a candidate is unavoidably detained enroute to interview they should contact the panel immediately.
Provided contact is made prior to their final deliberations the panel may agree, after consideration of the circumstances, to allow the candidate to attend. This decision will be at the absolute discretion of the panel. 

Any candidate who contacts the panel after deliberations have commenced will not be considered for interview.  If you have a disability and you require special arrangements for interview, you should ensure that you provide details of your needs on the application form. Similarly, if you require an interpreter, you should include this requirement on the form in the relevant information section.

NOTIFICATION OF UNSUCCESSFUL CANDIDATES

In the interests of economy, candidates not shortlisted for posts may not be notified. Applicants who have not been advised of an interview within 1 week of the closing date for teaching posts or 2 weeks of the closing date for non-teaching posts may wish to contact the school to make enquiries. All candidates selected for interview will be informed whether successful or not.

VERIFICATION OF QUALIFICATIONS / APPRENTICESHIPS
