This role involves working with children, young people, and/or vulnerable adults and is therefore exempt from the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974. This means that you are required to disclose all criminal convictions, cautions, warnings, reprimands, and bind-overs, including those that would otherwise be considered “spent” under the Act.
You should disclose in this section any previous convictions, cautions, warnings, reprimands, and bind-overs for any offence (not just those involving children or vulnerable adults).
Further information on the disclosure of convictions can be found on the following website:

Failure to disclose any relevant information may result in dismissal if it is subsequently discovered. Any information provided, either within this application form or during the interview process, will be treated in the strictest confidence and considered only in relation to this application.
