("FCA") stated publicly that
"non-financial misconduct is misconduct, plain and

applicable to most employees within regulated firms did not require
amendment to bring behaviours such as bullying and harassment

New legislation came into effect at the end of October 2023 which has reduced the period of time during which criminal convictions are legally required to be declared to employers. Under the previous legislation it was necessary for some offenders to disclose their convictions for the rest of their lives, which was seen as a barrier to employment.
