DISCLOSURE OF CRIMINAL RECORD
In accordance with statutory requirements, certain pre-employment checks are conducted for positions involving working with
vulnerable groups, specifically children and vulnerable adults. The information obtained from these checks is used to help safeguard
these groups. It will not be used to discriminate unfairly against those with convictions which we consider as unrelated to working
with vulnerable groups. Having a criminal record will not automatically bar you from employment or voluntary work with us.
In the event of a successful application, an offer of employment may be made to you which is conditional upon receipt of satisfactory
Disclosure and Barring Service Checks (“DBS Checks”) (formerly CRB Check and ISA Check) in relation to criminal and child protection
matters. Please note that a conviction will not necessarily be a bar to obtaining employment. By checking the box below you hereby
consent to a DBS Check(s) being made to the Disclosure and Barring Service (“DBS”):
As the position you are applying for gives you privileged access to vulnerable groups, you are required to disclose all spent
convictions and cautions under the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974 (Exemptions) Order 1975 unless it is a “protected”
conviction/caution under the amendments made to the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974 (Exemptions) Order 1975 (in 2013) and,
therefore, not subject to disclosure. This means that you must disclose spent and unspent convictions on this form other than
those which are so “protected”. This may include any driving offences. Guidance on the filtering of “protected” convictions and
cautions can be accessed on the Disclosure and Barring Service website.
Failure to disclose any disclosable criminal convictions could lead either to your application being rejected or, if you are appointed, to
dismissal if it is subsequently discovered that you have had any criminal convictions. It is a criminal offence to apply for a position
working with children if you are excluded from doing so.
Please check the appropriate box to indicate whether you have any convictions, cautions, reprimands or final warnings that are not
“protected” as defined by the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974 (Exceptions) Order 1975 as amended in 2013:
Yes
No
If you have answered yes to the question above, please set out the details below. Please continue on a separate sheet if necessary.

PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING DECLARATION CAREFULLY BEFORE SIGNING THIS FORM
By submitting this form, I declare that the information given in this application is to the best of my knowledge complete and correct.
I understand that my application may be rejected or that I may be dismissed for withholding relevant details or giving false
information. I understand that any employment offer will be subject to satisfactory references, evidence of qualifications, proof of
my eligibility to work in the UK and a satisfactory disclosure certificate from the DBS.
CEG complies with the Data Protection Act 1998. CEG will use the information you have provided on this application form, together
with other information we may obtain about you e.g. from your referees and from carrying out DBS checks (when such checks are
relevant to the post), to assess your suitability for employment with us, for administration and management purposes and for
statistical analysis. We may disclose your information to our service providers and agents for these purposes and by submitting this
application form you are consenting to our processing this for the purposes above.
The information on your application form will also form the basis of the confidential personnel record of the successful candidate. In
the case of unsuccessful candidates the information will be destroyed after six months.
