does the type of conviction have anything to do with the type of job you do ?
might be worth asking why they put it on there if it doesn't
be aware though even if it goes from your copy it could still be included in the other section the employer gets

Re: Free Criminal Record Check
If it's a conviction, it doesn't have to be relevant to the job application. So long as the employer is entitled to ask for a complete criminal record history, regardless of whether or not any convictions are spent, that is exactly what they will get.

This information is never disclosed to the company applying for the security clearance.
I thought this was due to civil liberty reasons, the vetting agency does not reject anyone for a criminal record as far as I know apart from Treason or professional malpractice. I'm not sure how a CRB check going to any old Tom, Dick or Harry company would be allowed to disclose conviction details to an employer.

In an old role, I gained BC, SC and then one to DV security clearance. The vetting process does not reject anyone with convictions, as long as your open and honest about it. However, any security clearance you try to get and have been served a custodial sentance, they will interview you at great length.
I also, have a conviction that is now spent and don;t have to declare it but the above was pretty hard to get but i can say, honesty is the best policy.

Re: Free Criminal Record Check
We all did daft things when we were young me being no exception Why do people have to pay for it all their life's when it comes to gaining employment?? IMHO the rehabilitation of offenders act needs looking at ASAP, also the amounrt of time between CRB's needs sorting out, A few years ago I had a CRB in the March then in the April I needed clearence to go onto another site, I had to have another CRB which cost me £35, just because I was over the 30 day mark by 3 days.

Probably due to the fact offenders are very inconsiderate and tend to offend 365 days a year.. If they increased the time between crb's then people might slip through the net..

I'm with Nidge on this one - it needs looking at - convictions of some description, need to be looked at - there is two kinds of people, that get convicted / make the mistake. Those that, make the wrong choice once and learn by it and never do it again and there are those that consistantly offend and make the wrong choice over and over and never learn. I think, with CRB's, there should be some form of interview, at the end of the day, there is always a story behind a conviction, no matter what - desperation, made the wrong choice at the time, etc etc. I know this, thats how I got my conviction. I'm lucky, mine is spent now so i'm lucky that I don't have to declare it but for others, declaring it is again another gut call - I know you have to but sometimes it's better not to say anything, rather than being judged for a past mistake.

explaining to employer can help just because there is a conviction and or other information given to employer doesn't mean they have to automatically refuse you the job the CRB is just advice to us it is our decision whether to use that to exclude the person or not
remember though too even spent convictions can appear on the employers other section if the CRB or an officer or other person involved in getting the information believes it is relevant to the application
always a good idea to tell your employer everything that could impact on the job

Baring soul, and the honesty is the best policy is ALWAYS the best way forward.
I was with my ex husband in a shop a very long time ago, the idiot unknown to me took his old shoes off and put some brand new expensive ones on........in other words he nicked them!
He was spotted, we both got pulled into the office, and the police were called. The lady store detective said I had been a look out!?!
Off to the police station we went, my ex would not admit to doing it, said the shoes were his.........what a nutter!
I was 8 months pregnant at the time, and in a cell, even the police man who interviewed me said I was with a wrong un.......did I listen......NO!
Long story, but in the end I got charged as well, went to court, I got a solicitor on the case and found not guilty,ex husband was found guilty.
Right, so thats the story.....................went for a job where I had to declare all, I was so scared to, even though I had not done anything and found not guilty.
I could not bare to tell them why i could not start the job, I was ashamed in a wierd way.
They hounded me as they wanted me, in the end I told them the story, they said thats is so long ago and it was not your fault, please come and work for us................I did!
The moral to me baring soul to all now is ..............what has happened is in the past, even if one has done wrong, is it is the past!
Any employer worth his salt will still want you if you are the best person for the job.

There's no job where you would of had to declare a NOT guilty... It wouldn't even appear on an indepth CRB report..

I know that now, but I was young when it happened (a long time ago) I thought if you had been through the court system it showed up on a check that companies did, so as I didnt want to lie, I told them about it in the end.

No being found not guilty shouldn't show unless you have been cautioned.

Re: Free Criminal Record Check
If you've been cautioned then you've admitted your guilt in the offence..so not guilty is nothing to do with a caution
