Re: CRB never included "spent" convictions
Do you actually employ people or are you just guessing?
I am involved in recruitment, yes we do get the criminal background checks but only after we have made the offer (offer subject to passing obviously). Anything is taken on a case by case basis depending on what job the person will have and silly little mistakes from years ago get skipped over. In the rare cases that there's something which might lead us to decline we invite the candidate to explain what happened and make there case.
