staff_disqualification_declaration

[debsthepixie]

Hello I wondered if you can help me.
Iam a registered Childminder with an Asssitant who has been working alongside me for the last 2 years with dbs and the appropriate certificates. She is a good worker with a good reputation, worked in a preschool and children centre.
It is my understanding I have to get her to fill out a form concerning staff_disqualification_declaration. What happens if her partner had been cautioned in the past for fighting? Can she still work for me or not?

Many Thanks

My understanding of "suitable persons" are those who come into contact with mindees. So only relevant if he lives at your setting or visits regularly.

I would have assumed the same as the post above ... But I'm not sure ... I've been looking but can't find the thread posted, I think by sarah707, about people who were disqualified from working from children because of something someone else has done ... (I remember a girl couldn't childmind because her mum had been disqualified from childminding because she hadn't paid her fee)

found the thread.

If there is any concern about someone who lives with someone who works with children then you must inform Ofsted and ask for their view.

If the assistant needs a waiver they will have to stop working until it's sorted out.
