The Volunteer post for which you are applying is exempt, because of the nature of the work, from the provisions of Section 4(2) of the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974, by virtue of the Exceptions Order 1975 as amended. This means that all convictions, including those that are “spent” under the terms of the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974, but excluding those that are “protected” under the Exceptions Order, will be made known to us.
The information provided will be taken into account in deciding whether to make an appointment or not. It will be completely confidential and will be considered only in relation to this application. If your application is successful you will be required to co-operate with us in obtaining a Disclosure of criminal convictions from the Disclosure and Barring Service.
Do you have any convictions, cautions, reprimands or final warnings that would not be filtered in line with current guidance?
