CRB checks

I have to have a CRB check for my new job, but when i was 13 i was given an reprimand for comon assault. im now 20, do you think i need to declear this as i was under 16 at the time? and more than 7 years ago when it should be removed from their database.
 
just ad one myself to get on job,mine abh conviction when 15,now 26 so 11years ago i declared jus in case.am working in high security prison.all depends on what the job is.mine was meant to be wiped clean but still stands on record an always will.spoke direct to them an said system should be changed,we all make mistakes an these things shouldn't av to effect your job oppurtunities wen u get older an wiser
 
Unfortuantley if you going for an enhanced CRB check then it will show up, the basic CRB will class things as spent. As Ian1511 said they stay with you for life.

Though I see now that you can appeal in the UK to have your name taken off the sex offenders list if you can prove you are no longer a threat, Think I'll stop there as I'll most likely get banned from here if I carry on.
 
What you also need to remember is that some jobs will automatically be a no no, IF you have ANY criminal convictions - be they 10, 20, 30 years old. Especially when working on some Government sites. You will have NO right of appeal, or even access to the information that may be held on you. You can even be rejected for a job; for being a known associate of someone of interest to the Security Services.
 
all convictions will show up on a CRB check and especially assault, if this was on an under 16 yr old it's seen as an offence against a minor. What do you mean by reprimand a caution or did it go to court? Employees will look at the circumstances and decide if your still a risk, best to tell them up front and discuss at interview where you can explain the circumstances

It never went to court, just common assault, basicly all what happened, childish game of truth or dare, my dare was pinch a girls bum she got upset and it went the the police who gave me a reprimand for comon asault at the police station. Stupid really.
 
My advice would be to declare everything. I have not been an angel in the past but have top level clearances and I declare everything. I have also known of instances were guys have been refused clearance for not declaring driving offences.

you can get your own Enhanced CRB check by going through a "CRB Umbrella company" this means that you can look on the CRB website, find a nearby Charity or voluntary organisation and pay a small fee which helps out the charity (something like 27 pounds as far as I know) then they do the enhanced CRB paperwork for you and put it through their account with the CRB, this means you can get your own one for taking to interviews etc, as a lot of employers and agencies expect you to go and get your own but they dont want to pay for it.
I had to do this as well as jump through several weeks worth of hoops, interviews, form filling and also transporting myself to head offices with the physical documents so that they could feel and look at the embossed paper of my tckets, ID etc and scan them into their computer, even though I had already posted good quality colour copies(as requested) AND emailed scans...


On working in the Bank offices and storage facilities, I had to get my own RFID and Photo ID sorted out, and sign it in and out of the security desk in the morning and at Lunch time just to be able to go to the shop for food, I was folllowed about all day when I was moving boxes of tools and ladders about by a grumpy woman with a radio set that eyeballed my every move and even stood outside the toilet when I went in...all this in a bank multi storey office with no cash in it at all...
On my second week working there, they had a change of rota at the security desk, we were supposed to lock our piece bags (lunch , mobile phone etc) in a spare parts store room, which the front desk had been letting us in to use for 2 weeks, I arrived in in the morning and there was a new guy on the desk, I said "can I put my bag in the store room" to which he replied "NO!"...I said "can I leave it with you at the front desk then please?" ....."NO!" .....where can I put it then..."DONT KNOW NOT MA PROBLEM PAL!"...thought **** this I need to get on.....went into the staff canteen, there was a load of cleaning ladies in there, asked is it ok if I leave my bag in here? they said ok so I thought ..,Right I will open it up so you can see inside it, so not an issue for "security"....I opened it up, took out my phone and put it in my back pocket, unzipped it all the way round, took out my clear plastic tub with rolls in it and my can of juice,left the bag lying wide open(it was a backpack so could be spread out like an open clamshell) and left it lying empty and open in the corner with my rolls and juice next to it.....went to work on the computers/cabling and 3 hours later when everybody was going for a break, I got cornered outside the canteen door by 4 "security" men that obviously fancied themselves as "hard men" -big fat ******** then a 4ft little ***** came along in his pink shirt and started screaming at me about a security breach and supposed suspicious package, the man from the security desk that had refused to take my piece bag was standing at the back of them smirking, 20 minutes later got a screaming and ranting phonecall from the agency and told not to come back after the end of that day....
