Any individual may request a basic disclosure certificate, which shows unspent
conditional cautions and convictions. The Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974 (Exceptions) Order 1975 outlines some circumstances where spent cautions and convictions are disclosable and may be taken into account when assessing a person\u2019s suitability for certain positions. Broadly speaking, standard and enhanced criminal record checks are only available in relation to jobs which involve special risks and sensitivities, such as working closely with children or vulnerable adults. Standard and enhanced checks are intended to support employers making safer recruitment decisions when employing people to work with vulnerable people<\/p>
The Disclosure and Barring service has issued guidance on eligibility for a criminal records check and it is available here: The Home Office holds data on crimes recorded by the police that are covered by the notifiable offence list. Notifiable offences are those crimes that could possibly be tried by a jury plus a few additional closely related summary offences dealt with by magistrates, such as assault without injury. The cost of processing visa applications varies by application type and these are set out in the published unit costs and fees table, which can be accessed via the link attached: 2. The number of Applications for \u2018Leave To Remain\u2019 received/processed are regularly published, refer to links below for latest figures:<\/p> https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/immigration-statistics-july-to-september-2017<\/a><\/p>
