Section E: Section A: Criminal Record Declaraton

The following information should be completed by ALL applicants The Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974 helps rehabilitated ex-offenders back into work by allowing them not to declare criminal convictions to employers after the rehabilitation period set by the court has elapsed and the convictions become “spent”. During the rehabilitation period, convictions are referred to as “unspent” convictions and must be declared to employers.

Do you have any unspent convictions?*

It is important that applicants understand that failure to disclose all convictions, cautions, reprimands or final warnings that are not protected could result in disciplinary proceedings or dismissal. A check will be made with the Disclosure and Barring Service. Further advice and guidance on disclosing a criminal record can be obtained from Nacro (National Association for the Care and Resettlement of Offenders)
