CRB Enhanced Disclosure

[Dumachi]

I have a record of battery (minor assault)

Using a vehicle without insurance

Making off with payment of petrol

 

 

All from juvenile court and i just applied at hospital (BMI Merdian) and lost my job before i started because i thought these went after 5 years, is there anyway to get them removed?

Spent convictions will *always* be on an enhanced, and an enhanced will always be called for when working with vulnerable people - so all hosiptals, schools, etc.

 

http://www.personnelchecks.co.uk/crb-checks/difference-between-a-basic-standard-enhanced-crb-check/ has a quick guide to the different checks.

 

You need to look at different kinds of work.

Nice system, so any stupid things u do as a kid can crush your dreams.

Did you declare them on your application?. If applying for a post in a hospital where they are seeking an enhanced CRB, I expect the application will have noted the post was exempt from the provisions of the Rehabilitation of Offenders legislation.

 

If I was an employer, I'd look at the nature of the offences, when they were, and what the applicant has done since, rather than being an absolute bar.

 

Offences involving dishonesty or violence are likely to pose more of a red flag ..... as would not disclosing a conviction on an application that then showed on the enhanced CRB, if the post was a RofO. 'exempt' one.

i didn't declare the assault one i didn't even know about it

Yes, cannot tell you any different. It's the assault that'll be the big problem. Find another type of work. Harsh, but it's the best advice going.

This is interesting.

 

What was the actual post you applied for?

 

If it wasn't an actual nursing role, it's possible you have been automatically unfairly dismissed for disclosing a spent conviction (that is, if it is in fact spent. Most stay on your record for 7-10 years).

plus see NACRO guide. Rehabilitation of Offenders Act does not apply to roles working with vulnerable adults or children.

How come you didn't know about it?.

Are you saying the court heard your case in your absence and you weren't aware of the proceedings?
