Because of the nature of Gloucestershire Nightstop work, many of our posts are exempt from section 4 (2) of the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974 by virtue of the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974 (Exceptions) Order 1975. Applicants are therefore obliged to provide details of the criminal record, including spent convictions, at an early stage of the application process. Please note that failure to reveal information that is directly relevant to the position may lead to withdrawal of the offer of appointment or subsequent dismissal at a later date. Any information given will be confidential and will only be considered in relation to an application for a position to which the order applies. We would like to stress that having a conviction will not necessarily prevent you from gaining a position with us.
