  • Offences and Financial Checks

  • Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974

    The provision of the above legislation allows for a person who has been convicted of a criminal offence involving a sentence of not more than 2 and a half years imprisonment and who have not re-offended for a specified period of time (related to the severity of the offence) to be treated as if the offence, conviction, or sentence had never occurred. This is known as a ‘spent’ conviction and will not need to be disclosed.

  • Do you have any prosecutions pending or have ever been convicted of a criminal offence which cannot, at present, be considered ‘spent’ as defined by the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974?*

  • I confirm that I have declared all prosecutions pending and all convictions which cannot be considered ‘spent’, as defined by the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974. I understand that if I were to be employed by the company and it was subsequently discovered that I failed to disclose any prosecutions pending, convictions or have been deliberately dishonest or evasive in my response to the questions on this form, I may falsify my position with the company, and this may lead to disciplinary action being taken and may constitute grounds for dismissal. This includes motoring offence.
