crb checks. i'm bricking it.

[Hammer]

I have been subject to CRB checks for several years and I'm familiar with people in a similar situation, albeit in a different form of employment. Most employers insist on an 'enhanced check', really just to cover themselves. In some cases, offences have been known not to appear due to where the conviction was logged. Whether a conviction is spent or not is irrelevant (bit of a bastard) since your employers will assess the disclosure in any way they want without having to explain their reasons. Any offence you've been convicted of, even if not seemingly relevant to your particular job, may count as a negative against you. One stumbling block may be that you didn't previously disclose all of your convictions. Sorry to sound a bit negative, but I wish you all the best. Your case really is in the lap of the gods. The CRB will send both you and your employer a copy of their disclosure, at the same time so don't start bricking it until then.

Have you completed a form to say they can do a check?

You sign the CRB request form.

You sign the CRB request form.

and provide 3 or 5 proof of identity documents for verification. Your employers are unable to proceed with the CRB check until you have completed these 2 stages.

Don't go to the pub with him though Leefer, he'll probably stab you in the eye with a knitting needle!

[Freddies Ferret]

i have had fucking loads of these done due to my job (Enhanced CRB) and im pretty sure everything comes up on mine! Like most have said the info is there but its down to your employers to decide whether is relevant! If it is an issue they are more than likely want to have an interview with you where you can just explain! Im sure it will be fine mate! Fuck it Si Pie got a bloody pay rise when he was worried about work stuff

[Talk Talk]

It is a very sad comment on the state of our country when things like CRB checks are considered to be 'normal practice'.

What a fantastic job the politicians have done with our society in the last 30 years. Crime used to be considered something that a bloke in a mask and a stripey top did in the dark. Now it is endemic and we have to have systems to show up the smallest breach.

Bollocks, bollocks, bollocks.

[Talk Talk]

Actually, thinking about this further, I feel for Arriba and everybody else who suffers under the database nanny authoritarian state.

It used to be that if you committed a crime (as in common law - to cause injury to a person or damage to property, rather than all of the made up 'illegal' crap we have now), you either served your time, paid the price or made amends in some way and then society considered that you had paid your dues and it was forgotten.

Now any past crimes are treated like an albatross around your neck. Almost to be worn like a badge on your coat like the Star of David by the Jews in pre-war Nazi Germany. Oh no, you will never be absolved because you have sinned.

It makes me sick.

[Arriba]

not yet.i've had the form for the airport pass.cannot remember if it was included in that,but was deffo mention of it on there.

Yeah just wondered if it may have said on there what they would look for. Take it you didn't have to disclose anything for internal purposes?

Good luck anyway, hopefully your employer knows you well enough to know it's in the past, whatever the outcome of any checks.

I know my situation was slightly different in the thread I posted a few weeks back, in that I hadn't told the office I work for, but they didn't batter an eyelid when I fessed up to my conviction. Hopefully you get the same respect and treatment as it by no means hinders your ability to do the job.

[Arriba]

cheers si.
they should now me well enough after 16 years.

[jayohaitchenn]

Why not mention this stuff to your boss before he does the checks so it isn't so much of a shock?
