I've worked at my current job (Secretary at NHS) for 13 years. Manager now wants to do a CRB check and has given me the form to fill. Will this show up? Can I be fired? I don't work directly with vulnerable adults or children. I did 40hrs community service 11 years ago for shoplifting. I’ve worked at my current job (Secretary at NHS) for 13 years.

However, check out the government site which deals specifically with this issue http://careersadvice.direct.gov.uk/helpandadvice/exoffenders/disclosure/. It's really helpful and should have the answer to your questions. Hope it helps. Hi Julie,

I was convicted of theft and had a sentance of 1 year imprisonment, which I served 7 weeks of before being released on licence. it was a one off incident. I work for a training provider as an assessor and deal with adults in their workplace. I told my current employer I had a record and they accept the CRB check and never asked me about it when it came in. I have applied for a new job, again as an assessor and was wondering if they can exclude me from this job because I have a record for theft? Any advice gratefully received thanks Hi, I have a CRB check that was done a few months ago with my current employer. it shows that i have a conviction for theft (during an incident that happened during an upsetting time when i was getting divorced in 2001-3) it clearly shows a court case covering 2 and a half years.

The staff are paid and the sessions charged for but as we are a small charitable group are not sure where we stand on CRB or ISA checks? Do we need to have these done and if so how do we go about it?

The following off the CRB website. "To apply for this type of a "free of charge" Disclosure the Countersignatory must: Satisfy themselves that the person meets the criteria; and Ensure that the position applied for in section B18 describes the role of the applicant e.g. "Sunday School Teacher" DO NOT just use the word "Volunteer"; and Place a cross [X] in the volunteer box in section Y8 on the application form. Failure to do so will result in the relevant fee being charged; and If your organisation has Payment on Account, DO NOT cross out the [X] in the POA box, but place a cross [X] in the box Y8 marked "Volunteer - no payment due". I think you can apply for the CRB through the school but ensure you tick the "volunteer box" Hope this helps. Leanne Hi Emma,

If you are going for temp. jobs then one CRB check can go with you, but if you go for a Permanent job the new employer MIGHT ask for a new CRB. The situation seems to vary among employers. If you work in Care Homes then each #home usually expect a new CRB. Best wishes Jean Hello Barbara
