Participants are not eligible for a licence if they have been convicted of a disqualifying offence in the past 10 years, where a conviction was recorded.  Participants must also advise the Office of Fair Trading if they have been found guilty of a disqualifying offence in the past 5 years, where a conviction was not recorded (this is known as an “unrecorded finding of guilt”).  The Office of Fair Trading may ask participants for further information to assess if a participant is a suitable person to hold a licence.
