Rehabilitation of Offenders:
The Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974 allows certain people to consider their criminal convictions as ‘spent’ meaning that they don’t have to reveal those convictions when applying for jobs. This job is exempt from the provisions of the Act in order to protect the children in our care. As such you need to inform us of any criminal convictions you have received. Any of the information you give us will be treated as confidential and will not necessarily mean that your application will fail.
