If you do not select either the 'Yes' or 'No' option for this section, we will contact you to obtain this information and this will delay your application.

You must select 'Yes' if you have a conviction unless it is:

1. A motoring offence that you received a fine or 3 penalty points for OR
2. A spent sentence (as defined by the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974)

Please be aware that for certain courses, particularly in teaching, health and social care, you must tell us about ANY criminal conviction(s), including spent sentences and cautions. If you are serving a prison sentence, you must select the 'Yes' box. If you are convicted of a criminal offence after you have enrolled, you MUST let us know immediately. If you are not sure whether to tell us about a previous conviction you should get more advice from your Citizens Advice Bureau.
