Disclosures
Disclosure Of Criminal Offences – Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974*
- Yes
- No
Because of the nature of this work, this post is exempt from the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974, as it relates to spent convictions and therefore, we need to know if you have any previous criminal convictions. Failure to disclose them could result in dismissal at a later date. Previous convictions will not necessarily disqualify you from applying for this job with this organisation. In making this decision the interview panel will consider the nature of the offence, how long ago, what age you were when it was committed and any other factors that may be relevant.
If 'yes' please list your convictions here. This information will remain confidential from the interviewing panel.*
Problematic Drug And Alcohol Use*
- Yes
- No
BDP believes that problematic drug/alcohol use by a staff member will have an adverse affect on BDP’s work. Problematic use is defined as use which consistently/repeatedly affects an individual’s behaviour at work or their working relationships. Previous problematic drug/alcohol use will not disqualify you from applying for a job with this organisation and we positively encourage those with past personal experience of drug misuse to apply.
