Good stuff people like that shouldn't even be alive, they are a wast of clothes.

Cheers Pedro, when I was doing the dirty deed I kept thinking to myself am I doing the right thing, will I be in the wrong for getting a hold of another persons information? In the end I thought sod it if it keeps people safe then I'm going to go for it, I still have his forms in my filing box in the cupboard at the side of me here

Thumbs down Re: Free Criminal Record Check

Criminal records is like last retribution. It ensures that the ex convict has about as much chance at getting a job as Milwall winning the World cup. Rehabilitation act says one has to drag your criminal record around for the next ten years or so. How can you be rehabilitated when you are forced to drag the past around?

I know nothing of a free criminal record check website. I am sure everyone would say they wish they had one. Yet again, British society is summed up in Channel four's Brass eye

Re: Free Criminal Record Check

Err, if you are an employer and you need to check this, you can go through the Criminal Records Bureau. We are a cable TV website and cannot check. If any of our users had access to check, and did, they'd be violating all sorts of laws (not least the Data Protection Act).

Re: Free Criminal Record Check

I get two free criminal record checks done. One for Barnardo’s and the other one is done by my local council as I’m on an approved list sent out by that council for the over 50s Trades list.

One other point if you get a criminal record check done to see if previous convictions are spent you have to apply to each force. So if you had been a rude boy in London and Stevenage you would need to apply to The Met and Hertfordshire constabulary to see what records they hold and if they are spent. Not all criminal records are spent after ten years.

As far as I’m aware and I'm no expert there are no free CRC checks.

No CRB checks in England are free, I've had 2 since January and every time I've had to pay, going onto the spent convictions most companies now are not accepting spent convictions, they are holding them against you. I was a bit of a boy back in the 80's you know the time when your hormones are all over the place, well I got into a bit of a scrape with the law, that is still on my record, potential employers are holding it against me.

My point was they CRC were free to me but both Barnardo’s and the Council had to pay to get the information. I was also given a copy of the original form which I will soon be able to wallpaper the smallest room as I now have quite a few proving my Good character.

Regarding spent convictions once they are spent they can’t be used by anybody or Company because The Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974 allows people to start with a clean slate, but there are exceptions to this general principle. For further information Link

This is true... I applied to the MOD for a job a few years back, and was told that as part of the application process they would be searching for any criminal record of mine, and would be including spent convictions.

Well the company I was going to work for didn't want to know when my records came back with an offence on it from the early 80's, that job didn't involve being with vunerable people, I stated the rehabilitation of offenders act, they said we don't work with that law if you've got a conviction then your excluded from the job application.

So why do they list spent convictions on a non enhanced disclosure, they never used to, farming it out to a private firm was the worst thing that could have happened to ex offenders who were genuinly rehabilitated. When is Nidge's debt to society paid for instance, when he had finished whatever punishment the courts deemed appropriate or 30 years later when it is still being held against him?

What do they mean

they said we don't work with that law if you've got a conviction then your excluded from the job application.

They don't obey the law then, seriously you appear to have a water tight case, I'd seek opinions from the CAB becasue they can't get away with doing this

2 jobs I've applied for over the last 2 months have all involved having a CRB records check, both of the firms have said that the rehabilitation of offenders act does not come into it when they look at your forms. Don't know what's going off but it stinks beyond anything.

Depends how much you want the jobs really, you know what to do, might also be worth speaking to your honourable member, this system is flawed, a mate of mine even had a court case that was dropped appear on his, fancy that, the judge directs the jury to aquit and it still shows up on a CRB check.

If you can't be bothered with that, why don't you personally apply for a level 1 certificate, I am sure they only have unspent convictions on those.

Yes they do here is a link, also it has loads of info about what to with regard to the previous jobs you were denied
