CRIMINAL BUREAU
If the position you are applying for (whether paid or voluntary) is listed in Schedule 1, Part II of the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act (Exceptions) Order 1975, we are entitled to ask Exempted Questions as defined by Section 113(5) of the Police Act 1997 about you. We are required to acquire a Criminal Record Certificate in relation to any person who is a Care Manager or Care Worker. This means that if your application is successful we will obtain through the Disclosure & Barring Service (DBS) an Enhanced Criminal Record Certificate relating to you before your appointment is confirmed.
Having a criminal record will not necessarily bar you from working with us. This will depend upon the nature of the position and thecircumstances and background of your offences. We observe the “Code of Practice for Registered Persons and Other Recipients of DisclosureInformation” published through the Disclosure & Barring Service on behalf of the Home Office, and we will provide you with a copy of it upon request.
