These are appointments in respect of which the Council would wish to ask exempt questions under the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act (ROA). Where a Disclosure is deemed necessary for a position, it will be made clear in all relevant documentation that a Disclosure will be requested in the event that an individual is made a conditional offer of the position.
