1 DISCLOSURE OF CRIMINAL CONVICTIONS (Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974)

If you are invited for interview a statement of these details should be sent under separate cover in an envelope marked Private & Confidential to the Human Resources Manager.

Please detail all convictions, cautions, reprimands or final warnings that are not “protected” as defined by the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974 (Exceptions) Order 1975 (as amended in 2013) by SI 2013 1198. (http://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/2013/1198/pdfs/uksi_20131198_en.pdf)
