Bankruptcy in itself is not a disqualification. However, you are disqualified if:1
you are currently subject to a bankruptcy restrictions order or debt relief restrictions order made by a court in England, Wales or Northern Ireland, or
your estate has been sequestrated by a court in Scotland and you have not been discharged
If a person has been adjudged bankrupt by a court in England, Wales or Northern Ireland, or is subject to an interim bankruptcy restrictions order, they are not disqualified on that basis, as long as they are not also currently subject to any of the particular bankruptcy disqualifications listed above.
