YOU ARE INVITED TO PROVIDE BELOW A STATEMENT OR LETTER (MAXIMUM 2 SIDES OF A4) IN SUPPORT OF YOUR APPLICATION (PLEASE DO NOT SUBMIT AS A SEPARATE DOCUMENT), OUTLINING HOW YOU MEET THE CRITERIA SPECIFIED IN THE PERSON SPECIFICATION

REHABILITATION OF OFFENDERS ACT 1974

The nature of the post for which you are applying means that it is exempt (by virtue of the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974 (Exceptions) Order 1975) from Section 4(2) of the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974. You are not, therefore, entitled to withhold information about cautions or convictions, which for other purposes are ‘spent’ under the provisions of the Act unless covered by the Disclosure and Barring Service filtering rules which specify under what circumstances certain cautions or convictions are classed as ‘spent’. Further information can be found at: Filtering rules do not apply to certain convictions, please refer to for further information. If you are appointed any failure to disclose cautions or convictions not expressly covered by the filtering rules may result in the offer of appointment being withdrawn or disciplinary action being taken and possibly the police and/or the Disclosure and Barring Service being notified.

If you are successful the information on the form will be considered and, if you have declared any previous criminal convictions, cautions or reprimands, these may be discussed with you prior to a decision being taken on your appointment.

Please be aware that the College has a policy on the recruitment of ex-offenders and that a criminal record will not automatically debar anyone from employment with Cardinal Newman College. You should also be aware that your referee can be informed that they can disclose any conviction they consider relevant.
