Are you aware of any police enquiries undertaken following allegations made against you, which may have a bearing on your suitability for this post? *

Because of the sensitive nature of the duties the postholder will be required to undertake, I also understand that the declaration includes details of any criminal convictions, cautions, reprimands and final warnings, and any other information that may have a bearing on my suitability for the post. I understand that an Enhanced Disclosure will be sought in the event of my application being successful.
