Artificial Intelligence (AI), Safeguarding and Safer Recruitment

The Portsmouth Diocesan Board of Finance is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children, young people and vulnerable adults, and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. As part of our safer recruitment practices, all appointments are subject to appropriate pre-employment checks, which may include an Enhanced DBS check, verification of identity, right to work, qualifications, employment history and satisfactory references.

We recognise that candidates may choose to use Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools to support the preparation of their application. While this is acceptable, applications must accurately reflect the applicant's own skills, knowledge, experience and suitability for the role. Candidates should be prepared to discuss all aspects of their application in detail during the selection process and demonstrate their competencies personally. Any application found to significantly misrepresent an individual's experience, qualifications or abilities may be withdrawn from the recruitment process.

As this role supports safeguarding activity, the successful candidate will work with sensitive and potentially distressing information relating to children and adults at risk. We are therefore seeking individuals who can demonstrate professionalism, integrity, sound judgement, emotional resilience and a clear commitment to safeguarding and maintaining the highest professional standards.
