Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974

The Rehabilitation of Offenders Act helps rehabilitated ex-offenders back into work by allowing them not to declare criminal convictions after the rehabilitation period set by the Court has elapsed and the convictions become “spent”. During the rehabilitation period, convictions are referred to as “unspent” convictions and must be declared to employers.
Before you can be considered for appointment we need to be satisfied about your character and suitability.
Awelon Healthcare aims to promote equality of opportunity and is committed to treating all applicants for positions fairly and on merit regardless of race, gender, marital status, religion or belief, disability, sexual orientation and age. Awelon Healthcare undertakes not to discriminate unfairly against applicants on the basis of a criminal conviction or other information declared.
Anyone applying for a position which involves a regulated activity and certain controlled activity from 12 October 2009 will require an enhanced Criminal Records Bureau check and that disclosure will, where appropriate to the role, include information against the Independent Safeguarding Authority barred lists for working with children or working with adults or both.

All posts which fall within this category are exempt from the provisions of the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act by virtue of the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974 (Exceptions) Order 1975.

If you are successful with this application, any failure to disclose such information could result in dismissal or disciplinary action. Any information provided will be confidential and will be considered only in relation to posts to which the Order applies.
