Disclosure

Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974 (exceptions) Order 1975 (2013)

WORKING WITH YOUNG PERSONS UNDER AGE 18

The Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974 (exceptions) Order 1975 (2013) provides that certain spent convictions and cautions are ‘protected’ and are not subject to disclosure to employers, and cannot be taken in to account. Guidance and criteria on the filtering of these cautions and convictions can be found at the Disclosure and Barring Service website: https://www.gov.uk/government/news/dbs-filter-certain-old-and-minor-cautions-and-convictions-reprimands-and-warnings-from-criminal-record-certificates.

If you are shortlisted you will be asked to disclose any convictions, cautions, reprimands or final warnings that are not "protected" as defined by the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974 (Exceptions) Order 1975 (as amended in 2013) – a failure to do so is likely to result in dismissal should it later be discovered. Any information given will be treated entirely as confidential and will be considered only in relation to this application.

If you have worked with children in either a paid or voluntary capacity, please note that your current/most recent employer, where you were employed to work with children, will be asked about disciplinary offences relating to children, young people and vulnerable adults, any child protection concerns and the outcomes of any enquiries or disciplinary procedures. This will include any instances for which the penalty is time expired.
