Ex Offender Policy
1. Introduction
The code of practice published under section 122 of the Police Act 1997 advises that it is a requirement that all registered bodies must treat DBS applicants who have a criminal record fairly and not discriminate automatically because of a conviction or other information revealed.
The code also obliges registered bodies to have a written policy on the recruitment of ex-offenders; a copy of which can be given to DBS applicants at the outset of the recruitment process.
To help you meet this requirement the DBS has produced the following sample policy statement which can be used or adapted for this purpose.
This policy statement can also be included within your organisation’s equal opportunities policy.
