Self-Declaration

In order to ensure you are the right fit for the role for which you have applied, we ask you to disclose any unspent convictions in the form below. You are not required to disclose any convictions which are considered ‘spent’ under the Rehabilitation of Offender Act.

You can work out whether your conviction is spent, and if it is spent whether it is protected, by looking at this information: https://www.mygov.scot/scotland-works-for-you (the guidance for individuals starts at page 38), or you can seek assistance from Citizen’s Advice Scotland or a solicitor.

If you have ever been convicted of an offence for which a sentence of more than two and a half years was imposed (regardless of the amount of time you actually spent in prison), this conviction can never be ‘spent’.

Having a criminal record will not automatically exclude you from volunteering. Each case will be considered on its merits and in relation to the particular volunteer role. The circumstances of the offence will always be taken into account so please give as much information as possible.

As with all of your details, this information is treated in strictest confidence.
