Policy Statement on Recruiting Applicants with Criminal Records
We recognise the contribution that ex-offenders can make as employees and volunteers and welcome applications from them. A person’s criminal record will not, in itself, debar that person from being appointed to post’s at Peer Power. Suitable applicants will not be refused posts because of offences which are not relevant to, and do not place them at or make them a risk in, the role for which they are applying.
All cases will be examined on an individual basis and will take the following into consideration:
- Whether the conviction is relevant to the position applied for.
- The seriousness of any offence revealed.
- The age of the applicant at the time of the offence(s).
- The length of time since the offence(s) occurred.
- Whether the applicant has a pattern of offending behaviour.
- The circumstances surrounding the offence(s) and the explanation(s) offered by the person concerned.
- Whether the applicant’s circumstances have changed since the offending behaviour.
Further advice and guidance on disclosing a criminal record can be obtained from Unlock.
