Disclosure Barring (DBS) (formerly CRB) checks are a mandatory part of the recruitment process for staff. PET-Xi aims to promote equality of opportunity for all with the right mix of talent, skills, and potential. Criminal records will be considered for recruitment purposes only when the conviction is relevant. Having an unspent conviction will not necessarily bar you from employment. This will depend on the circumstances and background to the offence and the position you have applied for. PET-Xi is exempt under the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act. This means the convictions never become “spent” for work which involves access to Young People and Vulnerable Adults. Failure to disclose any “unspent” convictions may result in the offer of employment being withdrawn or if appointed could lead to dismissal. The Disclosure Barring Service (DBS) has published a code of practice for organisations undertaking DBS checks and a copy is available on request.

It is the responsibility of all Company employees to fully comply with the safeguarding policies and procedures of the Company. As a PET-Xi employee you must ensure that you understand your role in protecting adults and children that may be at risk of abuse.
