(b)prior to confirmation of their appointment, members of staff at the school are subject to a check with the Criminal Records Bureau which confirms their suitability to work with children, that check is to be at an enhanced level if their duties involve regularly caring for, training, supervising or being in sole charge of persons aged under 18;
