Outcare Western Australia

The following guidelines may be useful for interviews:

It should be made clear to applicants who have disclosed convictions that only relevant convictions will be taken into account, along with the person's skills, experience and qualifications, when assessing suitability.
The interviewee should be advised at what point during the interview the conviction will be discussed. It should not be left until the end of the interview.
Discussions should only focus on those convictions which may be relevant to the job applied for, and be conducted in a calm, factual and professional way.
Do not be afraid to question a person on his/her convictions, because if they are aware it is being handled objectively, they will probably be glad to get it out in the open.
