Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) procedure
The University is committed to safeguarding and protecting children and vulnerable groups. The majority of our posts will not require a DBS disclosure and requests will be made in accordance with the eligibility criteria as set out by the Vetting and Barring Scheme.
All applicants will need to disclose any unspent (current) convictions at the outset of the recruitment process. However, roles which require a DBS check and are therefore exempt from the provisions of the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act, applicants will need to disclose both unspent and spent convictions.
The University is legally entitled to ask applicants of the details of any spent and unspent conviction.
Our DBS Procedure for Staff (PDF) will ensure a fair process is applied to all our recruitment and is in line with the Rehabilitation of Ex-Offenders Act 1974. Please read the DBS procedure and Recruitment of Ex-Offenders Policy (PDF) for more information.
