Employment with Criminal Convictions - What You Need to Know 

Got a care job with an unpent conviction. Was told I couldn't... I did. Don't let a conviction stop you doing what you want just speak to employer.

Hi, I have worked in sport and recreation for many years. I do know that those positions are exempt from the rehabilitation of offenders act requiring total disclosure, employers usually request periodic enhanced DBS checks. Understandable as you're working with children and young persons.

Great video thanks, l have a got a criminal record, this video helped me a lot !

I'm looking to go into security what sort of criminal offences stop u getting a sia badge. Because I'm 42 had I got done for gbh when I was 18 or 19 I got a 12 month good behaviour. But at 24 I was married to someone that end up abusing me and playing games with the cops and I got arrested for domestic abuse and I got a 12 month good behaviour plus anger management for 1year plus 1year probation. When my ex wife coursed all of this. From when I was 24. And I been good ever since than would all that stop me getting a sia licence because all that happened when I was 24 now I'm 42. Would that show up on a dbs standard check ? Any advice

I have a job my boss has decided to share my criminal past with other members of staff for the sole purpose of causing trouble that was a members of staff are threatening to leave if the company don't get rid of me where do I stand

How can i contact

What if the police and the judges were corrupted by racism and caused an innocent person to have criminal record? Would these be considered by the employers if the solid evidences of the corruption of the court and police forces are shown to the employers?

I know a taxi driver who stabbed someone and was imprisoned for it. He got a job no problem with a independent firm but still got through a tribunal type meeting with Bristol Council for a license. Bristol can be dangerous for a taxi driver especially when he was driving in the 80s and 90s. He went to prison. So never say never. I just never declare my criminal conviction it's 27 years ago I was self employed for 17 years doing removals so I had millions of pounds worth of stuff in my van over the years. I think if it's over 15 years and not of a violent or sexual nature it should definitely be expunged. The world is stuck in the dark ages and still believe leopards don't change their spot , it's a rubbish saying because clearly I am not a leopard I'm to fat to run at 60mph and I don't have 4 legs. Having a criminal record is like having leprosy you even get cleaners that advertise that they are criminal record checked . If someone has to clean up my 💩 then frankly they deserve a four finger discount 😆. I stole valium from a pharmacy 27 years later they diagnosed me with GAD my point is that most people aren't bad instead they make bad choices. Criminals can easily change but idiots can't and that's the difference. Education Education Education.

Can criminal records be removed after a certain period of time?

I can't get a job as have unspent conviction 2007 so unfair!

Science and engineering graduate jobs don't require an enhanced or standard dbs check apart from jobs in healthcare, the Civil Service, schools, and the defence industry. You also failed to point out the filtering law meaning you can apply for doctor, lawyer, school teacher, and finance type jobs after 11 years if you were not sentenced to a term of imprisonment and were not convicted of a very serious crime such as murder, armed robbery, rape or similar.

That’s rubbish , I have an unspent conviction and I’m working in finance and it’s fully disclosed . It’s all depending on the nature of the crime and the length of the sentence

You don't wont convictions they lower your chances in the world. Keep a clean nose

Don't bother. It is all stacked against you. It's unforgiving and very little rehabilitation involved in it. All this bull about how long it "should" be spent is nonsense because any misdemeanour stays on your DBS forever. It never goes away. Forget work and stay on benefits. You have very little choice but to.
