As The Avalon Group meets the requirements in respect of exempted questions under the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974, all applicants who are offered employment will be subject to a criminal record check from the Disclosure and Barring Service before the appointment is confirmed.

Criminal records will be taken into account for recruitment purposes only when the conviction is relevant.

This means that they do not need to be disclosed to employers, and if they are disclosed, employers cannot take them into account.

Do you have any convictions or cautions (excluding youth cautions, reprimands or warnings) that are not ‘protected’ as defined by the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974 (exceptions Order 1975 (amendment) (England and Wales) Order 2020 (required) YesNo
