Declaration

The job for which you are applying involves substantial access to children and vulnerable adults and is therefore exempt from the Rehabilitation of Offenders’ Act 1974. You are therefore required to declare any convictions or cautions you may have, even if they would otherwise be regarded as ‘spent’ under this act. The information you give will be treated in confidence and will only be taken into account in relation to an application where this exemption applies.

The disclosure of a criminal record will not debar you from appointment unless the company considers that the conviction renders you unsuitable for employment. In making this decision we will consider the nature of the offence, how long ago it occurred and what age you were when it was committed and any other factor which may be relevant. Failure to declare a conviction may however disqualify you from appointment or result in summary dismissal if a discrepancy is revealed once appointed.

It is an offence to apply for a role if you are barred from engaging in regulated activity relvant to children.

All successful candidates will be subject to an enhanced Disclosure and Barring Check (DBS).
