New appointments to Defra undergo pre-employment criminal record checks. Where a conviction is flagged, appointment is dependent on a role-specific risk assessment. Convictions for the following offences result in the individual automatically failing pre-employment checks and not being appointed: life sentences, arson, sexual offences and hate and terror offences.<\/p>

Defra has participated in the Going Forward into Employment Scheme for Ex-Offenders and has appointed to posts via this scheme.
