Disclosure And Barring Service
On 28 November 2020, new DBS filtering rules came into effect. The changes mean that youth cautions, reprimands and final warnings will no longer be subject to automatic disclosure; the multiple conviction rule has been removed, meaning each conviction will be considered against the remaining rules individually. If you are unsure about whether you need to disclose certain criminal record information, free confidential advice may be sought from charity bodies such as Nacro or Unlock:
* Nacro Tel: 0300 123 1999
* Unlock Tel: 01634 247350
The Trust is committed to safeguarding Adults and Children. Therefore, if the post is subject to the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act (ROA) 1974 (Exceptions) Order 1975 (as amended), the successful candidate will be subject to a Criminal Records Check with the Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS). The cost of the DBS will be met by the successful candidate via salary deduction. DBS charges are as follows where applicable:
* Standard Check: £21.50 + £5.90 administration = £27.40. Deducted from salary over 4 months or as a one-off payment.
