Because of the nature of the work for which you are applying , Section 4(2), and further Orders made by the Secretary of State under the provision of this section of the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act (1974) (Exceptions) Order 1975 apply. Applicants are therefore required to give information about convictions which for other purposes are “spent” under the provisions of the Act. Any information given will be completely confidential and will be considered only in relation for positions to which the order applies.
Failure to declare any spent, unspent convictions, cautions, reprimands, or warnings which are not protected may well disqualify you from appointment, or result in your appointment being terminated when the discrepancy comes to light.
