Equally, we will not discriminate unfairly against volunteers or paid staff where a Disclosure and Barring Service check reveals a criminal conviction or other information about offences.

However, our approach depends on the job, and whether it is covered by, or exempt from, the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974.

However, it is important to note that if we receive a high volume of applications, we may limit the numbers of interviews offered to people with and without a disability.
