Criminal Records Bureau Disclosures
If the position you have applied for warrants contact with children, the elderly or other vulnerable people then you will be requested to complete a Criminal Records Bureau Disclosure.
If the post you are being interviewed for is subject to these checks then it will be stipulated in the Job Description.
A disclosure is usually only carried out on successful candidates who have been selected for appointment, and any offer of appointment will be subject to clearance of these checks. Your offer of appointment may therefore be withdrawn if your checks are not clear.
