13. Criminal convictions
ℹ️ Please give below details of any criminal convictions that you have which are not ‘spent’ under the terms of the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act (1974).

However, if you are applying for a job in teaching, health, social work and courses involving work with children or vulnerable adults, you must tell us about any criminal convictions, including spent sentences and cautions (including verbal cautions) and bind-over orders. For these you may need an ‘enhanced disclosure document’ from the Criminal Records Bureau or the Scottish Criminal Record Office Disclosure Service.
