Proof of Right to Work in the UK

Evidence of “proof of the right to work in the UK” must be seen and copies verified prior to an employee commencing work.  Please note we recommend this requirement should also be applied to volunteers who work frequently or intensively. School Governors do not need to have this check unless they also work or volunteer in another capacity on a regular basis at the school.

Please refer to the HR - Proof of Right to Work page on the service desk portal for further information about the process and a list of acceptable documents.

Please note: a full copy of the evidence used to confirm the “right to work in the UK” (e.g. a passport) should be kept confidentially in a local personnel file for at least two years after an individual has left a school.
