Criminal Record Checks
All job applicants will be asked to disclose details of any unspent cautions and convictions, under the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act (1974).

The Councils fully comply with the Disclosure and Barring Service Code of Practice, a copy of which is available on request, and undertake to treat all applicants for vacancies fairly. A DBS check is only requested for positions where an assessment has indicated that one is required.

Failure to declare unspent convictions may result in the withdrawal of a job offer or, if subsequently discovered, to disciplinary action and/or dismissal.
