The Council is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and vulnerable adults and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment.
The Council will undertake Criminal Records Bureau checks for all people who have contact with children and vulnerable adults as part of their job.
Section 5 of the Person Specification (Personal Circumstances) will tell you whether the post requires this check and if so at what level.
Having a criminal record will not necessarily prevent you from securing a post; it depends on many factors including the nature of the offence. If you would like to discuss whether a conviction would prevent you from working with children, young people or vulnerable adults please telephone Human Resources on (01709) 334141 in confidence, for advice.
