It is a criminal offence for people who are barred from working regulated activity to apply for roles that require them to work unsupervised with that particular group (i.e. vulnerable adults, children or both).

This post is exempt from the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974 and Mitie is therefore permitted to ask job applicants to declare all convictions and cautions (including those which are "spent" unless they are "protected" under the DBS filtering rules) in order to assess their suitability to work with children or vulnerable adults.
