24 Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974 The Rehabilitation of Offenders Act (as amended) helps rehabilitated ex-offenders back into work by allowing them not to declare criminal convictions after the rehabilitation period set by the Court has elapsed and the convictions become spent. During the rehabilitation period, convictions are referred to as unspent convictions and must be declared to employers. The NHS aims to promote equality of opportunity and is committed to treating all applicants for positions fairly and on merit regardless of race, gender, marital status, religion or belief, disability, sexual orientation and age. The NHS undertakes not to discriminate unfairly against applicants on the basis of a criminal conviction or other information declared. If you are applying for a post involving access to persons in receipt of health services, your offer of employment may be subject to a satisfactory criminal record check. Failure to reveal information relating to any convictions could lead to withdrawal of an offer of employment. Individuals applying for positions which involve regulated activity are required to have an enhanced criminal record check and, where appropriate to the role, this check will also include any information which may be held against the barred lists for working with children and/or adults. The full definition of regulated activity is defined in the Safeguarding Vulnerable Groups Act 2006, as amended by the Protection of Freedoms Act 2012 which came into force on 10 September Are you currently bound over, or do you have any unspent convictions issued by a Court or Court Martial in the UK or any other country?
