Section 5: Rehabilitation of Offences Act 1974 (Exceptions Order 1975) and Declaration of Convictions

Policy statement on recruiting applicants with criminal records:

Beaufort Education and Care are willing to consider individuals who may have previous convictions. However, the post you are applying for is to work with children and young people and as such is exempt from the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act. This means that all convictions, cautions ‘spent’ or ‘unspent’, pending court cases or any Police enquiries undertaken following allegations made against you MUST be disclosed. Failure to disclose such information could result in subsequent dismissal or disciplinary action if you were appointed.

This post is exempt from the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974 and therefore applicants are required to declare any convictions, cautions, reprimands and final warnings that are not protected (i.e. that are not filtered out) as defined by the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974 and the Exceptions Order 1975 (as amended in 2013).

Further advice and guidance about disclosing a criminal record and information about ‘filtering’ can be obtained at: Nacro guidance and the DBS website.

We recognise the contribution that ex-offenders can make as employees and volunteers and welcome applications from them. A person’s criminal record will not necessarily debar that person from being appointed to this post. Suitable applicants will not be refused posts because of offences which are not relevant to, and do not place them at or make them a risk in, the role for which they are applying.

All cases will be examined on an individual basis and will take the following into consideration:

Whether the conviction is relevant to the position applied for.
The seriousness of any offence revealed.
The age of the applicant at the time of the offence(s).
The length of time since the offence(s) occurred.
Whether the applicant has a pattern of offending behaviour.
The circumstances surrounding the offence(s) and the explanation(s) offered by the person concerned.
Whether the applicant’s circumstances have changed since the offending behaviour.

This declaration must be completed by all applicants.

Do you have any Convictions, Cautions, Reprimands, Final Warnings, pending Court Cases or Police Enquiries?*
