The Quantock Education Trust is required under law and guidance to check the criminal background of all employees.

Because of the nature of the work for which you are applying, this post is exempt from the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974 (Exceptions) Order 1975 (as amended in 2013 and 2020).

The amendments to the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974 (Exceptions) Order 1975 (2013 and 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.


Guidance about whether a conviction or caution should be disclosed can be found on the Ministry of Justice website, which can be accessed here:

https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/new-guidance-on-the-rehabilitation-of-offenders-act-1974

·        unspent convictions in a Court of Law; and

·        spent convictions that are not protected as defined by the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974 (Exceptions) Order 1975 (Amendment) (England and Wales) Order 2020


so that a police check can be carried out if you are offered an appointment.


If you are subsequently employed by the Quantock Education Trust and it is found that you failed to disclose any relevant previous convictions or cautions as defined above, this could result in dismissal, or disciplinary action being taken by the Trust. During the course of your employment with the Trust should you be arrested by the police you are obliged to notify the Headteacher/Head of School of this immediately (even if de-arrested or all charges dropped).
