POLICY STATEMENT ON THE RECRUITMENT OF EX-OFFENDERS
As an organisation using the Criminal Records Bureau (CRB) Disclosure service to assess
applicants’ suitability for positions of trust, BP complies fully with the CRB Code of Practice
and undertakes to treat all applicants for positions fairly. It undertakes not to discriminate
unfairly against any subject of a Disclosure on the basis of conviction or other information
revealed.
BP is committed to the fair treatment of its staff, potential staff or users of its services,
regardless of race, gender, religion, sexual orientation, responsibilities for dependants, age,
physical/mental disability or offending background.
W
e actively promote quality of opportunity for all with the right mix of talent, skills and
potential and welcome applications from a wide range of candidates, including those with
criminal records. We select all candidates for interview based on their skills, qualifications
and experience.
A Disclosure is only requested after a thorough risk assessment has indicated that one is
both proportionate and relevant to the position concerned. For those positions where a
Disclosure is required, all application forms, job adverts and recruitment briefs will contain a
statement that a Disclosure will be requested in the event of the individual being offered the
position.
Where a Disclosure is to form part of the recruitment process, we encourage all applicants
called for interview to provide details of their criminal record at an early stage in the
application process. We request that this information is sent under separate, confidential
cover, to a designated person within British Petroleum Organisation and we guarantee that
this information is only to be seen by those who need to see it as part of the recruitment
process.
Unless the nature of the position allows BP to ask questions about your entire criminal
record we only ask about “unspent” convictions as defined in the Rehabilitation of Offenders
Act 1974.
We ensure that all those in BP who are involved in the recruitment process have been
suitably trained to identify and assess the relevance and circumstances of offences. We also
ensure that they have received appropriate guidance and training in the relevant legislation
relating to the employment of ex-offenders, e.g. the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974.
At interview, or in a separate discussion, we ensure that an open and measured discussion
takes place on the subject of any offences or other matter that might be relevant to the
position. Failure to reveal information that is directly relevant to the position sought could
lead to withdrawal of an offer of employment.
We make every subject of a CRB Disclosure aware of the existence of the CRB Code of
Practice and make a copy available on request.
We undertake to discuss any matter revealed in a Disclosure with the person seeking the
position before withdrawing a conditional offer of employment.
Having a criminal record will not necessarily bar you from working with us. This will
depend on the nature of the position and the circumstances and background of your
offences.
