Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974 (Exceptions) Order 1975 (Amendment) (England and Wales) Order 2020

The position you have applied for is an 'exempt position' therefore, it is not covered by the provisions in the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974. This means that the employer can
obtain a standard or enhanced disclosure through the Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) under the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974 (Exceptions) Order 1975 (Amendment)
(England and Wales) Order 2020 and, in certain circumstances, the Police Act 1997. This is in recognition that there are certain activities for which fuller disclosure of a person’s
criminal record history is relevant, for example, where there is a real risk to children, other people in vulnerable circumstances or some other particularly sensitive area of work.

If the position is eligible for an enhanced disclosure, any follow up DBS check may also include other relevant information held at the discretion of the Chief Constable of the relevant
police force. If the position is a regulated activity as outlined in the Safeguarding Vulnerable Groups Act 2006 (amended in 2012), any enhanced disclosure may also include information
that is held about you on the children’s and/or adults barred list(s).

In these circumstances you are required to list all of your cautions and/or convictions including those that are spent, unless for the purposes of the job or activity they are considered
to be ‘protected’. The amendments to the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974 (Exceptions) Order 1975 (Amendment) (England and Wales) Order 2020 provides that when applying
for certain jobs and activities, certain convictions and cautions are considered ‘protected’. This means that they do not need to be disclosed to employers, and if they are disclosed,
employers cannot take them into account.

Fair recruitment process

Birmingham Women's and Children's NHS Foundation Trust aims to promote equality of opportunity and is committed to treating all applicants equally and fairly based on their skills,
experience and ability to fulfil the duties of the role being applied for. Suitable applicants will not be refused positions because of criminal record information of other information
declared, where it has no bearing on the role (for which you are applying) and no risks have been identified against the duties you would be expected to perform as part of that role.
This part of your application will only be viewed by those who need to see it as part of the recruitment process. Your information will be treated confidentially and will not be shared.

What information should I disclose?

Understanding what offences might need to be declared to a prospective employer will be critical to ensure you do not disclose information you are not legally bound to declare or
omit relevant information that must be declared. If you are unsure about whether you need to disclose certain criminal record information, free confidential advice may be sought from
one of the charity bodies listed below. These bodies can advise you on what you are legally required to declare and may also be able to advise you on how you can disclose criminal
record information to a prospective employer and your legal rights when doing so.

Equal opportunities
Equal opportunities

NHS organisations recognise the benefits of having a diverse workforce and therefore welcome applications from all sections of the community. In addition to this, under the
provisions of the Equality Act 2010, all NHS organisations are required to demonstrate that their recruitment processes are fair and that they are not discriminating against or
disadvantaging anyone because of their age, disability, gender reassignment status, marriage or civil partnership status, pregnancy or maternity, race, religion or belief, sex or
sexual orientation. Therefore a series of questions need to be raised in order to ascertain who is applying for each position and to ensure that no one is being unfairly
discriminated against or disadvantaged.

This section of the application form will be detached from your application form and will not be used as part of the selection process nor will it be seen by anybody who is
interviewing you. The information collected is only used for monitoring purposes in an anonymised format to assist the organisation in analysing the profile and make up of
individuals who apply, are shortlisted for and appointed to each vacancy. In this way, they can check that they are complying with the Equality Act 2010.

The Equality Act 2010 protects people against discrimination on the grounds of:

• their age and sex.

• their race which includes colour, nationality, ethnic or national origin.
• their religion or belief, including a lack of any belief.
• their sexual orientation, be it bisexual, gay, heterosexual and lesbian.

The Equality Act 2010 also protects people who are married or in a civil partnership.
