Spent and Unspent Convictions

Created

None

Hello, 

If someone has an unspent or spent conviction does this affect eligibility? 

If so, where is this information found? 

Thank you 

Sophie

No, there's no restriction to funding ex-offenders.

There may be restrictions, depending on the offence, if they're doing certain quals that need a DBS check, but that's between the learner and DBS... Similarly, a provider may want to consider the safeguarding implications, again based on the offence, but there's no funding issues.

Hi,

Is the learner obliged to mention any convictions when they sign up?  If they aren't, then how are we as providers supposed to know to put safeguarding measures in place?

Thank you

Jean
