Safer Recruitment Practice

All Kids Can is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment.

Declaration of Criminal Offences

The job for which you are applying involves substantial opportunity for access to children.  It is therefore exempt from the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974.  You are therefore required to declare any convictions or cautions you may have, even if they would otherwise be regarded as “spent” under this Act.  The information you give will be treated in confidence and will only be taken into account in relation to an application where the exemption applies.  As the occupant of the post will have substantial access to children, you will need a Criminal Records Bureau (CRB) check to ascertain whether their records reveal any criminal convictions (including spent ones) relating to the successful applicant.  All information given will be treated in the strictest confidence and will be used for this job application only.  The disclosure of a criminal record will not debar you from appointment unless the selection panel considers that the conviction renders you unsuitable for appointment.  In making this decision the panel will consider the nature of the offence, how long ago and what age you were when it was committed any other factors which may be relevant.

Failure to declare a conviction may, however, disqualify you from appointment, or result in summary dismissal if the discrepancy comes to light.
