Originally posted by IPMAN View PostIn writing and yes there was reference to ROA 1974 right at the top
Did it say that the role was exempt from the ROA 1974?
Applying for work
Once your convictions are spent, the Act gives you the right not to disclose them when applying for jobs, unless the role is exempt from the Act. Most employers with jobs covered by the Act will only ask for ‘unspent’ convictions. If they ask about all convictions, you should check what level of disclosure they’re entitled to, and if it’s only a basic DBS disclosure, then this may be an ineligible check and you can legally withhold any spent convictions.Last edited by Zigenare; 22 May 2018, 12:30.Old Greg - In search of acceptance since Mar 2007.
