I confirm that the information I have given on this application form is correct and complete, and that misleading statements may be sufficient for cancelling any agreements made. I understand that I will be required to complete a confidential declaration in respect of my state of health.

DECLARATION OF CRIMINAL RECORD

As stated on the application form, because of the sensitive nature of the duties the postholder will be expected to undertake, you are required to disclose details of certain criminal records. Only relevant convictions and other information will be taken into account so disclosure need not necessarily be a bar to obtaining this position.

If you have declared a criminal record and we believe this to have a bearing on the requirements of the post, we will discuss this matter with you. If we do not raise the record with you it is because we have taken the view that it should not be taken into account in deciding your suitability for the post. If you require further information or have any concerns about filling in this declaration, please contact our Central Support switchboard on 0114 221 3222 and they will put you in touch with a representative of the Human Resources Department.

Q1. Do you have any convictions, cautions, reprimands or final warnings which would not be filtered in line with current guidance?

Please note that the post you have applied for is excepted from the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974, which means that certain convictions, cautions, reprimands and final warnings on your criminal record need to be disclosed. Applicants are therefore not entitled to withhold information about certain convictions which for other purposes are 'spent' under the provisions of the Act, and in the event of employment, any failure to disclose such convictions, cautions, reprimands and final warnings could result in dismissal or disciplinary action by the Company.

Q2. Are you aware of any police enquiries undertaken following allegations made against you which may have a bearing on your suitability for this post?
