Registered Charity No 1098224

This document is kept in strictest confidence and will only be seen by the interviewer.
CASS welcomes applications from all sections of the community including ex-offenders, as part of its equal opportunities policy. CASS volunteers will be working directly with elderly and disabled, with access to their homes. Not only clients but ex-offenders might be in a potentially vulnerable position unless considerations of a person’s background have been made known from the outset.

For this reason, we ask you to complete the following section.

Have you ever been convicted of a criminal offence?:

Yes No

If you have answered Yes, please give details of date(s) of offences and sentence(s) passed:

DECLARATION

To the best of my knowledge, there is no reason in respect of my physical or mental health why I would not be able to volunteer for CASS.

I confirm that the information I have given on this form is correct and complete and that misleading statements may be sufficient grounds for not accepting my services as a volunteer.

Do you accept the Declaration? Yes No

Please note: The Rehabilitation of offenders Act 1974, certain occupations are exempt from the provisions of this act. As you may be in contact with persons under the age of 18 years or over the age of 65, persons who are blind, deaf or have a learning difficulty or mental illness, YOU ARE REQUIRED BY LAW to give brief details (sentence passed and the date) of each conviction even though "spent" under the Act.

If you have declared a criminal conviction that has some bearing on your role at CASS this will not be discussed with you at interview and does not necessarily preclude from being accepted.
