Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974 (Exceptions) Order 1975 (as amended)
The role you have applied for is exempt from the provisions normally afforded to individuals under the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974. This means that the employer can obtain a standard or enhanced disclosure through the Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) under the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974 (Exceptions) Order 1975 (as amended) and, in certain circumstances, the Police Act 1997.
Enhanced disclosures may include other relevant non-conviction information held on police databases, at the discretion of the police or Chief Constable of the relevant police force.
