Disclosure of Criminal Record
The Trustees of Amber Trust are obliged by law to operate a checking procedure for
employees who have access to vulnerable people.
Under the terms of the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974 (Exemptions) and
(Amendment) Order 1986 there are occasions where convictions, although normally ‘spent’
can be taken into account. Because of the nature of the role Amber Trust undertakes,
caring for some of societies most vulnerable people, you must disclose any conviction,
action, binding over or caution, or any pending court appearance and include all spent
convictions. If you fail to disclose such convictions or pending court appearances and are
appointed, then this could result in dismissal or disciplinary action by Amber
Trust. Information provided in the section will be discussed with the candidate only if the
matter is considered relevant to the post.
In the event of a successful application, a disclosure will be sought from the Disclosure and
Barring Service. A conviction would not necessarily be a bar to obtaining employment.
Declaration (please delete as appropriate)
I confirm that I do/do not have any convictions, actions, binding over’s or cautions, or any
pending court appearances about which I should inform Amber Trust in confidence.
