This means that they do not need to be disclosed to employers, and if they are disclosed, employers cannot take them into account. Guidance about whether a conviction or caution should be disclosed can be found on the Ministry of Justice website. Please detail any criminal convictions except those ‘spent’, or otherwise ‘protected’, under the Rehabilitation of Offences Act 1974. If you have none, please state.
