The Rehabilitation of Offenders Act (1974) |
To make
sure that the sometimes vulnerable people (children, patients, etc.) our staff
work with are fully protected, we ask you sign to our rehabilitation of
offenders Act declaration form at your interview. You can always speak to us
privately in one of our back offices if you felt unable to make the
declaration; nothing of what you tell us is written down or recorded in any
way. If you have a criminal record, you still may be able to work with us, but
not with groups who are considered vulnerable. You never have to give us a
reason for not signing the form if you do not want to. Just to refresh your
memory, the declaration is repeated below. If you signed the declaration, and
you maybe now realise that you shouldn't have signed it, please let us know.
Just give us a call and arrange to come in and take the form you signed away
with you. This is important. We do allow our staff to be police-checked. If it
transpires that you have signed the declaration and DO have a criminal record,
you are guilty of a criminal offence. Remember, we're on your side; all you
have to do is let us know, and we'll put the matter right. You will still be
able to work with us at most places and anything you tell us is confidential
and never recorded anywhere. Please don't get yourself in trouble by being
tempted to sign the declaration if you really shouldn't. Here's the
declaration: |
"I
understand that some jobs that I may be given by PSR are exempted under the
Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974, I therefore declare that I have no
convictions whatsoever (even ones considered as "spent") to declare to you. I
confirm also that all of the details given to you on my registration form(s)
are true and correct to the best of my knowledge and belief." |
