Now for the formal part, Safeguarding and Criminal convictions

The welfare of the vulnerable adults who access our service is paramount. For this reason employment with Parkhaven Trust will be offered subject to a satisfactory check from the Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS). Please refer to the policy on recruiting ex-offenders attached to this application form.

A criminal record will not necessarily be a bar to obtaining a position at Parkhaven Trust. If a check is returned and reveals any information, this will be discussed with the applicant.

employing ex-offenders

We would draw your attention to the following statement:-

“Because of the nature of the work for which you are applying, this post is exempt from the provisions of Section 4(2) of the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act, 1974, by virtue of the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974 (Exceptions) Order 1975 and the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974 (Exceptions) (Amendment) Order 1986. Applicants are, therefore, not entitled to withhold information about convictions which for other purposes are ‘spent’ under the provisions of the Act”.

Please provide details below if you have been convicted of a criminal offence or been the subject of a conditional discharge or probation order. (Past criminal proceedings are not necessarily an obstacle to taking up a post. This occurs only where the offence/s is / are deemed relevant. Any details will be discussed with you should you be the successful candidate based on your supporting statement, interview and tests). Note that if, once a criminal records disclosure has been completed, it is discovered that you have failed to accurately disclose the information requested below, the company reserves the right to terminate your employment without notice.

If you cannot provide the details of two previous employers, you may substitute one or more of these with a referee who was a former tutor or teacher when you were in formal education.
