Disclosures

Your candidate will be prompted to disclose any potential previous criminal, legal or reputational issues as part of their application. It’s important to note that having made disclosures should not automatically fail their screening, and a risk decision must be made in light of the candidate’s potential role and responsibilities.

If the candidate discloses previous offences, it’s also important to be aware of the role of Rehabilitation of Offenders Act (1974) in your decision making processes.
