CRIMINAL CONVICTIONS
You must tell us now if you have a case pending or if you have ever been convicted of a criminal offence, or cautioned by the police, or bound over. You must include all offences, even minor matters such as motoring offences, and ‘spent’ convictions, that is, things which happened a long time ago. If you leave anything out it may affect your application. The disclosure of a criminal record or other information will not debar you from registration / appointment unless NAME OF ORGANISATION considers that the conviction renders you unsuitable. In making this decision the NAME OF ORGANISATION will consider the nature of the offence, how long ago it was committed and what age you were at the time and other factors which may be relevant.
Have you ever been convicted of a criminal offence or been the subject of a caution; a Bound Over Order; or the subject of an investigation alleging that you were the perpetrator of adult or child abuse?
0 Yes 0 No
If so, please state below the nature, date(s) and sentence of the offence(s)
