Because of the nature of the work for which you are applying, this position is exempt from the provision of section 4 (ii) of the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974 (Exceptions Order 1975), and you are therefore not entitled to withhold information about convictions which for other purposes are "spent" under the provisions of the 1974 Act and in the event of appointment, any failure to disclose such convictions could result in the withdrawal of approval to work with children, young people or vulnerable adults within the church.
