School Warden
The Competition The purpose of this recruitment campaign is to form a panel for Kildare County Council from which permanent and temporary posts may be filled at School Warden as vacancies arise. Duties and Responsibilities (a) To attend for duty at the prescribed times and perform such duty under the direction of the employer or any member of the Garda Síochána. (b) To observe fully the instructions for School Wardens set out in the schedule below. (c) To carry the official sign and wear the official uniform and cap at all times when on duty (these will be supplied by the employer). (d) To notify the employer without delay should a traffic incident occur at or in the vicinity of the Warden’s duty point. (e) To furnish such records and reports relating to the employment as may be required by the employer. (f) To notify the employer without delay should he/ she be unable due to illness or other reason, to report for duty. School Warden Instruction Schedule (g) A white board bearing the word “Stop” is the recognised symbol of authority for all school wardens and this board must be carried and the recognised uniform must be worn all the time when the Warden is on duty. (h) The board must be held or carried in the right hand in an upright position. When the warden is standing on the footpath, the faces of the board should be shown as parallel with the footpath. When moving on to the carriageway to stop traffic, faces of the board should be shown as at right angles to footpath, so as to be visible to traffic approaching from front and rear. (i) The warden should take up their position on the footpath, or side of the carriageway, so as to be clearly visible to all approaching traffic, having regard to parked vehicles, etc., which might obstruct the view. The School Warden’s position should be on the side of the carriageway where the most children are congregated wishing to cross. In the morning or after the lunch-time break period, this will generally be found to be the side further away from the school, while at the commencement of lunch-time break and at termination of school period, it will be on the school side. (j) The warden should marshall all children desirous of crossing on their left-hand side and give the children instructions to remain on the footpath until such time as the warden has gone out, taken up position in the centre of the carriageway and brought all traffic to a standstill. The School Warden should then call or signal the children to cross, when they should walk across, not run, in front of them in an orderly manner. In the initial stages of their duties, they should be very careful to ensure that the children obey these instructions implicitly, as sometimes there is a tendency for the children to follow them out on the carriageway before traffic has been stopped. (k) Before attempting to stop traffic, the warden should consider traffic conditions at this point, whether it is of such a sparse nature that they can wait for a lull before going out to conduct children across, or if it is of such a nature that they will have to make breaks in it. In some areas, it is possible that such lulls will obviate the necessity of much stopping of traffic, but in busy areas or on fast traffic routes, breaks will have to be made. Great care will have to be exercised by the warden in breaking up traffic, due consideration being given to the speed of the approaching traffic and conditions of road and weather. Sufficient time should always be given by the warden for traffic to pull up in safety (l) It is of interest to realise that the vast majority of drivers, if called on suddenly to stop from various speeds will take distances shown hereunder to do so, under good road and weather conditions, and such distances could be considerably lengthened and perhaps doubled, under adverse weather or road conditions:- a. Average Stopping Distances: b. 30 km/h - 12 metres c. 40 km/h - 36 metres d. 50 km/h - 25 metres e. 60 km/h - 36 metres f. 80 km/h - 54 metres (m) When the warden has taken up their position in the centre of the carriageway, and is clearly visible to all traffic, they should ensure that all traffic in their immediate vicinity, front and rear, has come to a standstill before calling or signalling on the children to cross. The warden should see that the children got safely across from one side of the carriageway to the other, before releasing traffic. The warden must not move from the road centre until the last one of the children is safely on the footpath. To release traffic, the warden should return to the footpath and, under no circumstances, are they ever to remain in the centre of the carriageway acting as a pointsman and calling traffic on. The warden will stop traffic by leaving the footpath, with the board/Stop Sign, and going to the centre of the road and release traffic by returning to the footpath. No signals of any kind should be given to traffic by the warden. (n) The warden should never break up organised convoys, weddings, funerals, parades, or hold up Fire Appliances or Ambulances for the purpose of allowing children to cross. The warden should wait for suitable opportunities when they have passed. Heavily laden horses should not be held up on inclines. (o) If the wardens have any trouble in controlling, or encounter disobedience by the children, they should inform the Principal of the school concerned. Any disobedience by traffic in general should be reported forthwith to the Gardai. In the case of motor vehicles, the description, registration number and so on of person driving, together with time and place of the occurrence, should be noted for the information of the Gardai. Frivolous complaints should, however, be avoided. Employer in aforementioned cases shall mean and include the Chief Executive, Kildare County Council, Áras Chill Dara, Devoy Park, Naas, Co. Kildare. Qualifications Character: Each candidate must be of good character. Health: Each candidate must be in a state of health such as would indicate a reasonable prospect of ability to render regular and efficient service.
