Will having a criminal record prevent me from working with Mendip District Council?
Not necessarily. The Council fully complies with the Criminal Records Bureau Code of Practice, a copy of which is available on request, and undertakes to treat all applicants for positions fairly. A Disclosure is only requested for positions where a risk assessment has indicated that one is required. An assessment is undertaken to assess the relevance of any conviction to the position, including consideration of the nature of the work and the working environment.
