SIGNATURE and DECLARATION – IMPORTANT – READ BEFORE SIGNING	
I declare that to the best of my knowledge and belief the information given by me in this application is true, and I understand that the above information forms the basis of my contract of employment. I understand that if any of the information supplied by me is found to be falsely declared, my contract may have been fundamentally breached and my employment may be terminated immediately. 
I understand that I cannot be offered a post until a satisfactory response has been received with respect to my ISA Register status, and that should I subsequently be offered a post, that offer will be subject to receipt of two satisfactory references, one of which must be from my previous employer, and that confirmation of the employment will be subject to a satisfactory criminal record check from the CRB. I understand that until a satisfactory response is received from the CRB, and my employment is confirmed, I will be supervised at all times at work, and will not seek or have unsupervised access to vulnerable people. If the post I have applied for is as a Registered Nurse, my confirmation of employment will also be subject to a satisfactory search of the Nursing and Midwifery Council records and registers. By my signature, I authorise the organisation to request an ISA Register check and a criminal records check from the CRB, on initial employment and at any time during my employment thereafter. I undertake to inform my employer immediately if my ISA Register status or criminal status changes at any time during my employment, such as by being charged with an offence (other than motoring offences), the administering of a warning, criminal conviction, referral to any register of barred care workers, or withdrawal of any registration required by my employment status.
