Please tell us below if you have any unspent criminal convictions (which include conditional
discharges). By criminal conviction we mean any offence that you were found guilty of
committing by Court or Court Martial (this includes motoring offences) even if you did not
attend. Answering 'yes' does not mean that we cannot consider you for the role. Please note
that for motoring offences, the period for which the criminal conviction remains unspent may
be longer than the period of licence endorsement or associated driving disqualification.
If you have a conviction that is spent under the terms of the 'Rehabilitation of Offenders Act
1974 and 1986' you can honestly answer that you do not have a criminal record.
Have you ever been convicted of a criminal offence which is currently unspent?
No
Please also tell us about any cases that may be impending (this also includes motoring
offences). Answering 'yes' does not mean that we cannot consider you for the role.
