Section 41 of the Sexual Offences Act requires all school staff
(teachers, coaches, administrators, ground staff) to be checked against the
Sexual Offences Register.
The Children's Act, section 126, requires all school
staff to be checked against the National Child Protection Register.
Both of these registers are based on criminal enquiries, cases awaiting trial and convictions.
TPN's biometric criminal check provides details on all convictions and
cases awaiting trial.
And, for your convenience, TPN can resubmit previously
captured fingerprints to save you time and the hassle of visiting your local
police station or another TPN Fingerprinting station. To do this resubmit we require your Consent which we get using a Biometric ID "selfie" Check.
