Criminal Convictions

Employment in this role is subject to a satisfactory enhanced disclosure from the Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS). This check will also show whether a person is barred from working with vulnerable adults and / or children.
Because of the nature of the work for which you are applying, you must provide information about any criminal record. This includes convictions, cautions, reprimands and warnings. In the event of being employed in connection with this application, any failure to disclose such convictions could result in dismissal or disciplinary action.
Certain spent convictions and cautions are ‘protected’ and are not subject to disclosure to employers and cannot be taken into account. Guidance on criteria on the filtering of these cautions and convictions can be found https://www.gov.uk/tell-employer-or-college-about-criminal-record
We have a Recruitment of Ex-offenders Policy that you can read here https://www.carerstrusttw.org.uk/Handlers/Download.ashx?IDMF=264ca928-59e6-4994-b991-b4a841a6ce9f

YesNo

If you do have any previous or outstanding convictions, cautions, reprimands or warnings, you will only be asked to provide details if you are invited for an interview.
At interview or in a separate discussion there will be an open and measured discussion about any offences or other matters that might be relevant to the position you have applied for. Having a criminal record will not necessarily bar you from working at Carers Trust Tyne and Wear. This will depend upon the position you have applied for and the circumstances and background of your offences.
