If your prospective employer has requested a criminal record check in the U.K., the online screening form will request you to answer whether you had a conviction.
If you have a previous criminal conviction in line with the DBS and Disclosure Scotland guidance**, you must disclose this on the form so that the Disclosure & Barring Service does not encounter any discrepancy when releasing the results.
