NOTE:
If you knowingly give any false information, or withhold any information, if you have been appointed, this may lead to your appointment being withdrawn or to dismissal.
If you are made a job offer, BIBIC reserves the right to confirm the basis of any information brought to its notice, relevant to this application. This will include approaching any former employers, whether or not proposed as referees.
All information will be kept in accordance with the requirements of the Data Protection Act 1984.
DECLARATION:
I declare that to the best of my belief, the above information is correct.
I agree to undertake a medical examination by a GP if necessary, and a Criminal records Bureau check. Our written policy on the recruitment of ex-offenders is available on request, as is the Criminal Records Bureau Code of Practice.
I agree that any offer of employment will be subject to satisfactory references.
Signature of Applicant ...... Date ......
The exemptions to the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974 require that all spent or unspent convictions must be declared by applicants for posts within BIBIC. You may, therefore, also be required to undergo a Disclosure and Barring check and to reveal the results of this check to BIBIC. We will not use information obtained through any of the available certificates to discriminate unfairly against those with convictions irrelevant or unrelated to the application in hand. (In this instance BIBIC will refund to you the fee payable for such a check).
However, the amendments to the Exceptions Order 1975 (2013) provide that certain spent convictions and cautions are ‘protected’ and are not subject to disclosure to employers, and cannot be taken into account. Guidance and criteria on the filtering of these cautions and convictions can be found on the Disclosure and Barring Service website. If you are unsure as to anything that you might need to disclose you should study that guidance.
Child sex offenders will never be given a job at BIBIC, but all other convictions will be given careful consideration in the context of the overall application and will not automatically disqualify the candidate from being appointed.
You are requested to put the declaration (please see separate sheet) in a sealed self-addressed envelope with your name on the front. You are also required to complete the attached “Safeguarding Children and Young People” form and place in the same sealed envelope. It will only be opened if you are at the point of being short-listed. All others will either be destroyed by us without opening or if you wish to have the envelope returned intact to show it has not been opened then you need to enclose a stamped addressed envelope.
DECLARATION OF CONVICTIONS
Have you ever been convicted of a criminal offence, as per the definitions above? Yes/No
(Declaration subject to the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974)
Are you subject to any pending prosecutions? Yes/No
If the answer is YES, please give details of date(s), of offences(s) and sentences(s) passed or pending prosecutions, which are not spent on separate sheet.
