SECTION B - CRIMINAL RECORD DISCLOSURE

We are asking you to complete this section in relation to job roles which are not exempt from the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974 (Exceptions) Order 1975 (2013 and 2020). For this reason you are only required to disclose information about unspent convictions. You are not required to disclose spent convictions.

Additionally, you are not required to declare any information about ‘protected’ offences – (offences to which the filtering rules apply). If you are unsure as to whether a conviction is unspent/spent or protected (filtered) you can contact organisations such as NACRO or Unlock for further information.

If you wish to be put forward for/if any role is identified which may be suitable for you but which is exempt from the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974 (Exceptions) Order 1975 (2013 and 2020), meaning that you are required to disclose spent convictions, we will ask you to complete an additional criminal disclosure form.

1. Do you have any unspent criminal convictions?
2. If you have answered yes to the question above, please provide the offence dates, dates of conviction/caution, offence types and sentences below.

This could include for example information about the circumstances of the offence, any work (paid or voluntary) or training that you have undertaken since, change in your circumstances etc.

We will seek to put forward/supply the best possible candidates to our Clients. Having a criminal conviction will not necessarily exclude you from the process.

The information given will be treated in the strictest of confidence and only taken into account where, in our reasonable opinion, the offence is relevant to the post to which you are applying.

Failure to declare a conviction may require us to exclude you from our register if the offence is not declared but later comes to light. If you are working in an assignment with a Client at the time that we are made aware of a conviction that have not disclosed to us, we may be legally required to inform our Client of that information and your assignment may be terminated. 

I declare that the information I have given during this section or the application process, including that provided through online portals, is accurate and true.

SCHEDULE: “QUALIFYING PERIOD” AND “TEMPORARY WORK AGENCY”

For the purpose of the definition of "Qualifying Period" in clause 1.1 of these Terms, when calculating whether any weeks completed with the Hirer count as continuous towards the Qualifying Period, where:

a) the Agency Worker has started working during an assignment and there is a break, either between assignments or during an assignment, when the Agency Worker is not working;

b) the break is:

    (i) for any reason and not more than six Calendar Weeks;

    (ii) wholly due to the fact that the Agency Worker is incapable of working in consequence of sickness or injury and the break is 28 Calendar Weeks or less; paragraph(iii) does not apply; and, if required to do so by the Employment Business, the Agency Worker has provided such written medical evidence as may reasonably be required;

    (iii) related to pregnancy, childbirth or maternity and is at a time in a protected period, being a period beginning at the start of the pregnancy and ending at the end of the 26 weeks beginning with childbirth (being the birth of a living child or the birth of a child whether living or dead after 24 weeks of pregnancy) or, if earlier, when the Agency Worker returns to work;

    (iv) wholly for the purpose of taking time off or leave, whether statutory or contractual, to which the Agency Worker is otherwise entitled which is:

        i. ordinary, compulsory or additional maternity leave;

        ii. ordinary or additional adoption leave;

        iii. ordinary or additional paternity leave;

        iv. time off or other leave not listed in paragraphs (iv)i, ii, or iii above; or

        v. for more than one of the reasons listed in paragraphs (iv)i, ii, iii to iv above;

    (v) wholly due to the fact that the Agency Worker is required to attend at any place in pursuance to being summoned for service as a juror and the break is 28 Calendar Weeks or less;

    (vi) wholly due to a temporary cessation in the Hirer's requirement for any worker to be present at the establishment and work in a particular role for a pre-determined period of time according to the established custom and practices of the Hirer;

    (vii) wholly due to a strike, lock-out or other industrial action at the Hirer's establishment; or

    (viii) wholly due to more than one of the reasons listed in paragraphs (ii), (iii), (iv), (v), (vi) or (vii); and

c) the Agency Worker returns to work in the same role with the Hirer, any weeks during which the Agency Worker worked for the Hirer before the break shall be carried forward and treated as counting towards the Qualifying Period with any weeks during which the Agency Worker works for the Hirer after the break. In addition, when calculating the number of weeks during which the Agency Worker has worked, where the Agency Worker has started working in a role during an Assignment and is unable to continue working for a reason described in paragraph (b)(iii) or (b)(iv)i., ii., or iii., for the period that is covered by one or more such reasons, the Agency Worker shall be deemed to be working in that role with the Hirer for the original intended duration or likely duration of the relevant Assignment, whichever is the longer. For the avoidance of doubt, time spent by the Agency Worker working during an assignment before 1 October 2011 does not count for the purposes of the definition of "Qualifying Period".

"Temporary Work Agency" means as defined in Regulation 4 of the AWR being a person engaged in the economic activity, public or private, whether or not operating for profit, and whether or not carrying on such activity in conjunction with others, of:

a) supplying individuals to work temporarily for and under the supervision and direction of hirers; or

b) paying for, or receiving or forwarding payment for, the services of individuals who are supplied to work temporarily for and under the supervision and direction of hirers.

Notwithstanding paragraph (b) of this definition a person is not a Temporary Work Agency if the person is engaged in the economic activity of paying for, or receiving or forwarding payments for, the services of individuals regardless of whether the individuals are supplied to work for hirers. For the purpose of this definition, a "hirer" means a person engaged in economic activity, public or private, whether or not operating for profit, to whom individuals are supplied, to work temporarily for and under the supervision and direction of that person.

Manual handling causes over a third of all workplace injuries. These include work-related musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) such as pain and injuries to arms, legs and joints, and repetitive strain injuries of various sorts.

The term manual handling covers a wide variety of activities including lifting, lowering, pushing, pulling, and carrying. If any of these tasks are not carried out appropriately there is a risk of injury.

The illustration below shows guidelines for what is safe to lift BUT every person is different. Only lift within your own limits.

Do not struggle to lift something – ask for help.


We should always try to minimise manual handling where possible by using mechanical aids such as Trolleys, Pallet trucks, Cages etc.

This guide covers two area.

  • Lifting
  • Pushing and Pulling


If you have any questions after reading this guide, please raise them with your Know How Resourcing Representative.


1. THINK

  • Is it safe to lift?
  • Do I need help?
  • Where am I taking this object?
  • Is the route clear?
  • Can I use manual handling aids? 


2. GET READY TO LIFT

  • Face the object.
  • Keep your feet shoulder width apart.
  • One leg slightly forward to maintain balance.
  • Avoid tight clothing as it can restrict movement. 


3. GET IN POSITION

  • Bend your knees, not your waist.
  • Keep your arms and elbows tucked in.
  • Get a good grip of the load.
  • Lift using the power in your legs.
  • Avoid Stooping or Squatting.


 

4. KEEP THE LOAD CLOSE

  • Keep the load close to your body and at waist height.



5. AVOID TWISTING

  • If you need to turn, use your feet rather than twisting the back.
  • Avoid leaning sideways. 


6. KEEP THE HEAD UP

  • Look ahead, not down at the load once it has been held securely.





7. MOVE SMOOTHLY

  • The load should not be jerked or snatched as this can make it harder to keep control and can increase the risk of injury.



8. PLACE THE LOAD DOWN

  • Put down, then adjust.
  • If precise positioning of the load is necessary, put it down first, then slide it into the desired position.




PUSHING AND PULLING

When pushing or pulling a load, the Health and Safety Executive provides the following guidance:

  • Use a manual handling aid with a handle height that is between shoulder and waist height.
  • Before using a manual handing aid check that it is in good working condition – report it to the supervisor or manager if it is faulty.
  • As a guide, the amount of force that needs to be applied to move a load over a flat surface is at least 2% of the load weight. For example, if the load is 400kg, then the force needs to be 8kg.
  • The force for pushing or pulling will be greater over imperfect conditions.
  • Always try to push rather than pull where possible.
  • Ensure you can see where you are going.
  • When negotiating a slope or ramp, get help from another worker.
  • To make it easier to push or pull, keep your feet away from the load and move no faster than walking speed.


I have read and fully understand all points in this guidance. I understand that I should immediately report any new or pre-existing conditions which impact on manual handling.
