Our purpose is our people, our culture is Platinum

Eden Futures has been awarded Platinum accreditation by Investors in People – the highest level of recognition an organisation can achieve. To become a Platinum organisation, Investors in People look for more than just performance – they look for purpose, trust, continuous improvement, and a genuine commitment to wellbeing. They look for companies where:

• Leadership is people-centric and values-driven

At Eden Futures we support vulnerable adults and therefore roles that require contact with our service users are exempt from the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974.

The amendments to the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974 (Exceptions) Order and 2020) provides that when applying for certain jobs and activities, certain convictions and cautions are considered 'protected'. This means that they do not need to be disclosed to employers, and if they are disclosed, employers cannot take them into account.

Guidance about whether a conviction or caution should be disclosed can be found on the Ministry of Justice website. It's a criminal offence for people who are barred from working in regulated activity to apply for roles that require them to work unsupervised with vulnerable adults.
