The Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974 (as amended) helps rehabilitated ex-offenders back into work by allowing them not to declare criminal convictions after the rehabilitation period set by the Court has elapsed and the convictions become 'spent'. During the rehabilitation period, convictions are referred to as 'unspent' convictions and must be declared to employers.

You are required to declare all current ‘unspent’ criminal convictions or cautions (including reprimands and final warnings). You are not required to disclose convictions or cautions which have become ‘spent’.
As part of assessing your application, Liberty will only take into account relevant criminal record and other information declared which is relevant to the position being applied for.
