I have not incurred any criminal convictions nor have I committed any offences of abuse or causing harm to children or young people, or any offence which may be relevant to my volunteering at Stepney Bank Stables.

The Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974 (Exemptions Order 1975), in relation to this area of work, states that it is my responsibility to inform my Supervisor of all convictions prior to me being registered as a Volunteer.

In addition it is also my responsibility to inform my Supervisor of any criminal, child protection or disciplinary proceedings taken against me during the period of my volunteering at Stepney Bank Stables.

If I wilfully or negligently withhold this information, Stepney Bank Stables reserves the right to immediately cease to offer access to all Volunteering arrangements.
