Burton Youth for Christ is committed to safeguarding the welfare of children and young people and expects all applicants to share this commitment.

Due to the nature of this role applicants will need to complete a Disclosure and Barring Service check (DBS). A criminal record is not necessarily a bar to employment with us; please ask for our policy on the recruitment of ex-offenders for more details.

This means you are therefore not entitled to withhold information about convictions which for other purposes are “spent” under provisions of the Act. In the event of employment, failure to disclose such convictions could lead to disciplinary action being taken. Any information given will be treated in the strictest confidence and used solely in relation to this application.
