Because of the nature of the work for which you are applying, this post is exempt from the provisions of section 4(2) of the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974 (Exemptions) Order 1975. Applicants are not entitled therefore to withhold information about convictions which for other purposes are ‘spent’ under the provisions of the Act. In the event of employment, any failure to disclose such convictions could result in dismissal or disciplinary action. Any information given will be strictly confidential. A criminal record will not necessarily be a bar to obtaining a position. (See Recruitment of Ex Offenders policy).
