CRIMINAL DISCLOSURE DECLARATION

As Rockdale Housing Association meets the requirements in respect of exempted questions under the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974, applicants who are offered employment in certain posts will be subject to a criminal record check from the DBS before the appointment is confirmed. This will include details of cautions, reprimands or final warnings, as well as convictions. This check may also include reference to the DBS Adults Barred List. A criminal record will not necessarily be a bar to obtaining employment with the Association, but inclusion on the DBS Adult Barred List will. Our procedures will be carried out in the strictest confidence and in accordance with the Disclosure and Barring Service Code of Practice. The amendments to the Exceptions Order 1975 (2013) provide that certain spent convictions and cautions are ‘protected’, are not subject to disclosure to employers, and cannot be taken into account.

ASSISTANCE FOR PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES

We are an equal opportunities employer and welcome applications from all sections of the community. Under the Equality Act 2010 we are asking the following questions to ensure we can facilitate any applicants who may have a disability within the meaning of the Act. Information provided will be kept confidential.

PRIVACY STATEMENT

Rockdale Housing Association complies with the General Data Protection Regulations. We will only use the information provided on this form as part of our recruitment and personnel procedures. If your application for employment is unsuccessful (including when you have speculatively applied to us in respect of a role which is not available), we will hold your data on file for 6 months. At the end of that period, your data is deleted or destroyed (unless we need to retain it for longer to exercise or defend any legal claims). If your application for employment is successful, personal data gathered during the recruitment process will be transferred to your personnel file and retained during your employment. The periods for which employee data is held will be provided to you in a separate privacy notice. We will not pass any data to a third party and you have the right to say that you do not want us to hold onto your data.
