Disclosure of Criminal Convictions:
Preferred candidates will be asked to complete a Self-Disclosure Form (SD2) to disclose whether they have:
• any unspent conditional cautions or convictions under the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974; or
• any adult cautions (simple or conditional) or spent convictions that are not protected as defined by the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974 (Exceptions) Order 1975 (Amendment) (England and Wales) Order 2020.

The amendments to the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974 (Exceptions) Order 1975 (2013 and 2020) provides that when applying for certain jobs and activities, certain convictions and cautions are considered ‘protected’. This means that they do not need to be disclosed to employers, and if they are disclosed, employers cannot take them into account. Guidance notes are available to accompany the SD2 form to assist candidates with information which must be disclosed. Any information disclosed will be treated in the strictest confidence.

Where appropriate for the role, a disclosure/status check will be sought from the Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) in the event of a successful application. A person’s criminal record will not in itself be a bar to obtaining employment, save in the case of management positions where a S128 Direction issued by the Secretary of State will prohibit employment.
