DBS CHECKS AND OUR POLICY ON CONVICTIONS Jersey Employment Trust/ Acorn is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of Children and Adults at Risk and requires all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. A condition of employment, in line with Safer Recruitment practises, is that all roles will require you to undertake a criminal reference check, before an offer is confirmed. Having a criminal record may not be a barrier to working at Acorn/JET and we are committed to treating all applicants fairly when considering someone’s suitability for employment. We will consider each offence individually, looking at issues like risk to our clients and/or staff, how long ago the offence(s) took place, the circumstances, and whether the offence is relevant to the role. The Rehabilitation of Offenders (Jersey) Law 2001 governs the declaration of criminal convictions and the provisions under this Law do not apply to regulated activity roles, as set out under Article 17 and 18 of the Rehabilitation of Offenders (Exceptions) (Jersey) Regulations 2002. Please answer the questions below: Have you had any previous convictions not regarded as spent under the Rehabilitation of Offenders (Jersey) Law 2001? For further information see: www.citizensadvice.je/past-convictions-rehabilitation-periods If you are applying for a regulated activity role or any role requiring an enhanced DBS check, 'spent' convictions need to be taken into account. Do you have any spent convictions? YES / NO YES / NO If YES, please provide details of the conviction(s), including the date(s) and nature of the offence(s). If you are concerned about this and would like to discuss your individual circumstances further, please contact the HR team on 01534 788900 or via recruitment@jet.co.je Declaration
I hereby declare that the details shown are correct and complete to the best of my knowledge. I understand that any false statements, or the withholding of any relevant information may provide grounds for rejection of my application. I understand that the Jersey Employment Trust will process this application subject to the Data Protection (Jersey) Law 2018.
