Thank you

Hi HB, thank you very much. I can stop stressing now, because the past won't affect my future. Thanks to everyone for their advice

Thanks for the reply. My past crimes are no risk to anyone..........I nicked some drinks from a shop and broke a window.........Im no Yorkshire ripper lol Thanks

Hi, Thanks for your reply. Your right, all spent convictions are declared on the enhanced DBS check, and will always be. I have informed the employer of my situation, and was surprised at how understanding they were. They told me, of the 3000 customer facing pest controllers they employ, almost half have a record!!! What happened years ago is "spent" and my crimes were idiotic, teenage stupidities which have not been repeated since. They do a DBS check to ensure im not a paedo or a risk to their clients. Theyhave said I will not be dismissed........Happy days!!!!!!!

Thanks for the reply dx......But surely the company wont employ me with spent convictions? The enhanced dbs will have these convictions visible to the employer, and its going to go against me

Hi everyone, was looking for some advice on a situation I have landed myself in. Recently was offered a job as a pest controller, in the interview process, the application form said about criminal convictions. It said under the rehabilitation act 1974, I did not have to declare spent convictions, so I never. However, I have just received my contract and it states I have to pass an Enhanced disclosure. Im crapping myself as I have 3 minor convictions when I was a teenager. I have received a fine and 2 conditional discharges as a result, but have been out of trouble since 1989. How will this affect my job? Can anyone help please? Thanks Steve
