Criminal record check

As part of the vetting procedure we will make a criminal record check on those applicants who are being considered for appointment, normally after interview/test. The check will be carried out by AccessNI. Applicants will be asked to complete the AccessNI application form and return it to us. Please note that a request to complete this form should not be seen as a guarantee of an offer of appointment. If you do not complete and return the form within the specified time, we will regard you as no longer interested in the post and your application will be withdrawn.

You should not be put off applying for a post because you have a conviction. We deal with all criminal record information in a confidential manner and such information is destroyed after a decision is made.
