Criminal convictions

Having a criminal record will not necessarily bar you from working for North Yorkshire Citizens Advice and Law Centre – much will depend on the type of job you have applied for and the background and circumstances of your offence.

For some posts, an offer of employment will be subject to a Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) check. If this applies to the post for which you are applying, this will be noted in the application pack.

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.

Please see Guidance Notes and Application Pack for further details.

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

Please provide the names, addresses, telephone numbers and email addresses of two people who may be approached for references.
