During our application process for work you will be asked if you have any criminal convictions. This should exclude any spent convictions under Section 4(2) of the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974, unless the job involves working with vulnerable adults or children. In this case, cautions, bind-overs, pending prosecutions, spent convictions must be declared. If a post involves working with children or vulnerable adults, the Job Description will clearly outline a requirement for a Criminal Record Check.
