DECLARATION OF CRIMINAL CONVICTIONS – GUIDANCE NOTES
Every candidate applying to work with Assist Care and Support must complete this form whether they have a previous conviction or not. The information you provide will be treated in the strictest of confidence and in accordance with the Data Protection Act 1988.
The Declaration of Criminal Convictions form will be removed by the HR Department for the short-listing process and will only be considered if you are selected for interview.
Why must candidates complete this form?
Due to the nature of the work and the services provided by Assist care and Support, all posts are exempt under the terms of the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974 (Exclusions and Exceptions) (Scotland) Order 2003 and are subject to Disclosure Checks.
What level of Disclosure will I complete?
Any vacancy that involves ‘regulated’ work with children and/or protected adults will be subject to a Protection of Vulnerable Groups “PVG” Disclosure check, all other vacancies will be subject to a Standard Disclosure Check. The PVG check will confirm if applicants are barred from regulated work.
Standard Disclosures and the PVG Scheme are considered as higher-level disclosures. These types of disclosure contain all unspent convictions, certain spent convictions that must always be disclosed, and other spent convictions set out by law. For a full summary and detail of both Standard and PVG checks please visit: http://www.disclosurescotland.co.uk/
I have been convicted of a criminal offence. Will this affect my application?
It is an offence for Assist Care and Support to offer employment to anyone who is barred from undertaking regulated work with the relevant protected group. If this is indicated within your declaration, your application will not be considered.
However, if you have previously been convicted of a criminal offence which did not result in barring from regulated work, any details that you provide will be treated confidentially and will not automatically exclude you from being considered for this or any other vacancy.
The list of offences which must always be disclosed can be found here:
