You are required to disclose any convictions which are not ‘spent’ by virtue of the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974

If Yes, please give details.

Having a conviction will not automatically affect your employment opportunities with GCS. The information you provide will be treated as strictly confidential and will be considered only in relation to the role you have applied for

Due to the nature of our work, we need to identify candidates who would be unsuitable for certain jobs, especially work that involves vulnerable groups including working with children. It may be that the role you have applied for will be identified as exempt from the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974 and will be eligible for a criminal record check processed through the Disclosure and Barring Service. The level of check (standard/ enhanced/ and /or Barred List checks) will be determined by the role and the position being applied for.
