REHABILITATION OF OFFENDERS ACT 1974

If the role that you are seeking to volunteer for involves working with or has access to children or adults at risk, you may require a Disclosure and Barring Service check. If this is the case, the role description will state that the role is exempt from the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act. If you are seeking to volunteer for such a role, you are not entitled to withhold information even if you have convictions which would ordinarily be considered to be “spent”.

Before you take up a voluntary position with children or adults at risk you will be asked to disclose any previous, existing or pending convictions or cautions. This will be in addition to completing a Disclosure and Barring Service check. Possession of a conviction or caution will not necessarily mean that you will not be able to volunteer. Each case will be considered individually.

If you fail to disclose any criminal convictions or cautions, including those “spent”, it could result in you not being able to volunteer.
