Applicant Declaration

The amendments to the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974 (Exceptions) Order 1975 (2013 and 2020) provides that when applying for certain jobs and activities, certain convictions and cautions are considered 'protected'. This means that they do not need to be disclosed to employers, and if they are disclosed, employers cannot take them into account. Guidance about whether a conviction or caution should be disclosed can be found on the Ministry of Justice website.

Do you have any unspent conditional cautions or convictions under the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974? *

Yes

No

Fair Processing Notice

DBS applications for positions within The Boys' Brigade are processed via Disclosure Services.

The Disclosure and Barring Service will refer the details provided on this application form to government and law enforcement bodies in accordance with any relevant legislation. The details provided to these bodies will be used for identifying possible matches to records held by them. Where such a match is established, data may be released to the DBS for inclusion on any certificate issued. The details provided on this form may be used to update the records held by the bodies specified above. The details provided on the application form may be used to verify your identity for authentication purposes. The DBS may use any information provided by the DBS on a certificate or otherwise held by the DBS to inform any of its barring decisions made under its powers within the Safeguarding Vulnerable Groups Act 2006.

I confirm that I understand that it is a requirement of the DBS (formerly CRB)'s Code of Practice that all Registered Bodies and Employers must treat Disclosure applicants who have a criminal record fairly and do not discriminate because of a conviction or other information revealed. It also obliges Registered Bodies and Employers to have a written policy on the Recruitment of Ex-offenders and a policy on the Handing of DBS certificate information; copies of which can be given to Disclosure applicants at the outset of the recruitment process.

I confirm that I have access to the DBS Code of practice and Disclosure Services policy on the handling of DBS Certificate information. I am aware that The Boys' Brigade's equal opportunities policy and policy on the recruitment of ex-offenders can be found here. Disclosure Services have both an equal opportunities policy and policy on the recruitment of ex-offenders and is available upon request.

I confirm my understanding that my Disclosure information is only used for the specific purpose for which it was requested and for which my full consent has been given.

I acknowledge that this sharing is in accordance with Disclosure Services legitimate business interests to enable the processing of my application.

I can confirm that I have read and understood Disclosure Services' privacy notice regarding the handling, use and disclosure of my personal data.

I confirm that unless the nature of my position allows Disclosure Services under the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974 (Exceptions) Order 1975 (as amended in 2013) to ask questions about my entire criminal record, the Registered Body and Employer will only ask about unspent criminal convictions as defined in the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974.

I understand that an electronic result contains a message that indicates either the certificate is blank or to await certificate which will indicate that my certificate contains information. In some cases the registered body may provide this information directly to The Boys' Brigade prior to me receiving my certificate. I understand if I do not consent to an electronic result being issued to the registered body submitting my application that I must not proceed with this application and I should submit a paper application form.
