                                                               APPLICATION FORM


The Independent Safeguarding Authority is committed to Equal Opportunities and
as a disability symbol holder actively encourages applications from disabled
people. We operate two schemes to ensure that candidates are not prevented
from demonstrating their true abilities during a selection exercise.

    1. The Guaranteed Interview Scheme: We recognise that disabled people may
       have been disadvantaged in their employment opportunities and therefore
       we guarantee to interview all disabled applicants who meet the minimum
       criteria for the job vacancy and consider them on their abilities.

The published essential requirements in the case of this role are as follows:

   Passing the basic eligibility questions as published on the application site
   Achieving a minimum score in the assessed rating for the responses on each of
    the initial competency screen questions i.e. demonstrating some evidence in
    each of the competency areas.

    2. We have a commitment to make reasonable adjustments to our recruitment
       and selection processes, where appropriate. This is to ensure that no
       candidate, whether or not they have a disability, is unfairly prevented from
       demonstrating their true abilities.

Due to these two schemes it is necessary for candidates to declare that they wish
to apply under the Guaranteed Interview Scheme to ensure that their particular
needs are met, should they subsequently reach the next stage.

What do we mean by disability?
The Disability Discrimination Act (1995) defines a disabled person as someone who
has a physical or mental impairment which has a substantial and adverse long term
effect on his or her ability to carry out normal day to day activities.

I consider myself to have a disability as defined above and would like to apply
under the Guaranteed Interview Scheme (for disabled candidates only).

Any false declaration of disability to obtain an interview may invalidate the
process and ultimately the contract of employment.

                                             YES
Applying under GIS?
                                             NO
