We have asked if you hold a full driving licence, although this will only be relevant to certain positions.

There are some positions which are exempt from the ROA. At the time of your application you will be informed if the post you are applying for is covered by the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974 (Exceptions) Order 1975, and if so you will be asked to declare any convictions you may have. We will disregard those irrelevant to the post you are applying for.
Explanatory note B
We have asked you to advise us of any condition or special requirements that you have which may affect your ability to take part in the recruitment process.
This may be a medical condition but it might also be specific requirements you may have regarding the timing of interviews. Any information you provide, will not count against you, but will help us consider ways in which we can reasonably accommodate your needs and, if applicable, meet our responsibilities under the Equality Act 2010 (the EqA).
