- The Bikeability Trust select all candidates for interview based on their skills, qualifications and experience.

For those positions where a criminal record check is identified as necessary, all application forms, job adverts and recruitment briefs will contain a statement that an application for a DBS certificate will be submitted in the event of the individual being offered the position.
