Rehabilitation of Offenders Act
As a rule, no one needs answer questions about spent convictions. However, this general rule does not apply to specified professions, employment and occupations. By virtue of the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974 (Exceptions) (Amendment) Orders, the exception rule does not apply to:

Any employment or other work which is concerned with the provision of health services, and which is of such a kind as to enable the holder of that employment, or the person engaged in that work to have access to persons in receipt of such services in the course of his normal duties or
Any employment or other work which is concerned with the provision of care services to vulnerable adults, and which is of such a kind as to enable the holder of that employment or the person engaged in that work to have access to vulnerable adults in receipt of such services in the course of his normal duties

You are therefore requested to provide details of all convictions, including those which would otherwise be considered as ‘spent’. All employment applications will be considered carefully, and the disclosure of a conviction does not imply that this employment application will be rejected.
Records will be checked via disclosure services procedures.

Please Select One *

The disclosure certificate will only be requested in the event that you re successful in your application for employment.
