Skills for Care would like to share the new set of masterclass films and resources they have produced in partnership with Dominic Headley re Understanding Criminal Records and also the new resource:

The video resources were primally designed to accompany our 'Safe and Fair Recruitment: Gathering Information to make informed decisions' workshops - but can be used independently by any organisation, practitioner or individual who wants and/or needs to know more about how the ROA 1974 and ROA Exceptions Order 1975 work in practice. You can complete each Masterclass in your own time at your own pace. 


Skills for Care have also included other useful resources, including a Bonus Masterclass for those who want to improve their knowledge on the more complicated elements of the ROA 1974 - including the Relevant Order Rule, and one of the most important and complicated disclosure resources developed in recent years - the ROA Exceptions Order Self-Disclosure and DBS filtering rules flowchart.
