Convictions or dealing with police

As such, while consideration will be given to individual circumstances, any previous criminal convictions could impact on your suitability for the role.
All previous convictions must be disclosed. This includes police cautions or involvement with the police, even when these interactions cross borders.
Failure to disclose may result in your application being rejected, or subsequent removal from the recruitment process/ position where the lack of disclosure is not identified until a later stage. This is inclusive of all interactions, whether or not the circumstances would have prevented an application from progressing. Convictions, warnings or cautions will not in every case prevent appointment. The decision will depend on the nature and circumstances of the offence(s).
