Client sent me home and going to terminate my contract

They can do what they want. That is why they take contractors, not permie head count.

Your contract will probably have a one weeks notice period from the client, or notice of anything from one month to contract term for your side to terminate.

When contracting you need to have a warchest built up before you resign a cushy permie job.

Do you have that warchest? If so, great. If not, what were you thinking of???

CRB is a very common thing for a lot of contracts. What was the crime you committed? Is there anyway it can be removed by the court / LPF that dealt with it?

Basically, yes, they can tell you to stick it, regardless of the CRB aspect. You have no rights as a contractor, unlike being permie.

What are you like at pushing trollies or flipping burgers?

Was the offence committed before you were 16?

You can't get it 'removed'. It will always be in the standard or enhanced CRB check.

I think when convictions become "spent", after a few years, they don't appear in the CRB checks.

Quite likely in many cases - The OP should search on "Rehabilitation of Offenders Act".

Oh dear - do you still believe in Father Christmas too? I can't wait to see what NLUK has to say about this.

By entering into a contract via a limited company you are assumed to have taken legal advice whether you have or have not.

Anyway they will probably overlook it - you are worrying far to much. Easier said than done of course.

CRB Checks | Criminal Check | Criminal Records

A Standard level CRB check will detail every conviction (including spent convictions), caution, warning and reprimand which is recorded in central records, or it will state that there is no such information held.

I think that's shocking - I thought a spent conviction was just that unless the person was working with vulnerable groups.

A Basic level disclosure will detail all criminal information considered non-spent under the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974 or state that there are no such convictions.

It may be worth getting one of those yourself, then, if you're asked in the future you can wave that under their nose and hopefully they won't bother with the standard check.

I’m new to contracting, I resigned from a well-paid permanent role and started contracting not long ago,2 weeks after start of my contract I got told that I should fill in Criminal Records Bureau checks, at the time of signing contract there was no mention of Criminal Records Bureau checks checks ( neither of the client nor agent mentioned this to me)
Unfortunately I have committed a minor offense which is very old and i had to declare on my form, 2 weeks later I get told by line manager that I should leave the office and don’t come to work until management are back from holiday and discuss my circumstances internally. Can they terminate my contract?
I left my permanent job and relocated to a new town purely for this contract, and was not told about the checks until I started the role. All beyond my control: /
Phoned the agent but their office is closed for new year

these jobs arent like those jobs. but i feel for you. steal a chicken you are in trouble, steal a million you are important.
