Under the terms of the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974, persons working/volunteering with children, or vulnerable adults must disclose all previous convictions including those which, for other purposes, would be defined as “spent”. Failure to do so could result in ending the voluntary arrangement with the River Thames Boat Project. A criminal record and its disclosure does not necessarily debar you from volunteering and all information given will be treated as confidential. If the answer is “yes” you must give details which may, if you wish, be enclosed in a separate sealed letter marked “Confidential” and attached to your application. Any information given will be completely confidential and will be considered only in relation to an application for a voluntary post to which the order applies. The object of this Notice is not in any way to reflect upon an applicants’ integrity, but is necessary to protect the public and the Charity. Have you ever been convicted of a criminal offence? *

yes no
