  1. This form has been updated following amendments to disqualification regulations under the Childcare Act 2006. Disqualification ‘by association’ no longer applies to childcare provision in schools.

  2. We have updated the form to reflect current legal requirements about spent convictions under the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act, and to cover a new offence which prevents enforced subject access requests for criminal records.

  3. First published.
