POLICY STATEMENT ON THE RECRUITMENT OF EX-OFFENDERS

As an organisation using the Criminal Records Bureau (CRB) Disclosure service to

assess applicants’ suitability for positions of trust, BP complies fully with the CRB
Code of Practice and undertakes to treat all applicants for positions fairly. It
undertakes not to discriminate unfairly against any subject of a Disclosure on the
basis of conviction or other information revealed.

BP is committed to the fair treatment of its staff, potential staff or users of its
services, regardless of race, gender, religion, sexual orientation, responsibilities for
dependants, age, physical/mental disability or offending background.

We actively promote quality of opportunity for all with the right mix of talent, skills
and potential and welcome applications from a wide range of candidates, including
those with criminal records. We select all candidates for interview based on their
skills, qualifications and experience.

A Disclosure is only requested after a thorough risk assessment has indicated that
one is both proportionate and relevant to the position concerned. For those positions
where a Disclosure is required, all application forms, job adverts and recruitment
briefs will contain a statement that a Disclosure will be requested in the event of the
individual being offered the position.

Where a Disclosure is to form part of the recruitment process, we encourage all

applicants called for interview to provide details of their criminal record at an early
stage in the application process. We request that this information is sent under
separate, confidential cover, to a designated person within British Petroleum
Organisation and we guarantee that this information is only to be seen by those who
need to see it as part of the recruitment process.

Unless the nature of the position allows BP to ask questions about your entire
criminal record we only ask about “unspent” convictions as defined in the
Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974.

We ensure that all those in BP who are involved in the recruitment process have been
suitably trained to identify and assess the relevance and circumstances of offences.
We also ensure that they have received appropriate guidance and training in the
relevant legislation relating to the employment of ex-offenders, e.g. the
Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974.

At interview, or in a separate discussion, we ensure that an open and measured

discussion takes place on the subject of any offences or other matter that might be
relevant to the position. Failure to reveal information that is directly relevant to the
position sought could lead to withdrawal of an offer of employment.

We make every subject of a CRB Disclosure aware of the existence of the CRB Code of
Practice and make a copy available on request.

We undertake to discuss any matter revealed in a Disclosure with the person seeking
the position before withdrawing a conditional offer of employment.
Having a criminal record will not necessarily bar you from working with us. This will
depend on the nature of the position and the circumstances and background of your
offences.
