Enhanced DBS check

[meatman6000]

Hi, I currently work for a firm operating in the education sector - a main contractor. I've been with them for over a year now, however, they have now applied for a enhanced DBS check - I have my form from ACRO and I can see what the police national computer says.

I have some minor convictions which are classed as spent - I did spend three months in a young offenders back in 2003 when I was 18; I was a delinquent as a youngster as I grew up in on a rough council estate. However, I spent some time on remand two years ago and was later acquitted and found not-guilty, I was in the wrong place, at the wrong time with the wrong people which seen me end up on remand, and my innocence was reflected by the not-guilty verdict.

I am concerned that it could effect my current employment as it was a politically motivated charge under the terrorism act, believe it or not. I have since settled down and put my life back together and moved on from it all. I am formally educated to degree level and my job is a professional one.

Is there any advice, I am particularly concerned about the safety of my employment?

Well you were found not guilty in court so in theory the time spent on remand two years ago should not show up. Though you might have to be careful how you explain this period of time on your CV (your employer might conceivably jokingly claim you were in prison - you'll need to keep a straight face!).

Nothing you can do about it now so just have to wait and see. Nothing of that sounds like an issue to me though. You were found not guilty so what's the issue?

IMO you are over thinking this and worrying yourself unnecessarily.

What you need to be more worried about is why you posted an employment question on a contractor forum and why on earth did you put it in General.
You are most definitely in the wrong place and the wrong time with the wrong people now!

As you're a newbie, you may want a quick heads up that 'general' on this forum means a free for all, hang 'em out to dry place. It's not a place for the feeble, but it is a good laugh if you have a thick skin (or in some posters cases, you're just thick)

Fair do's Dad* ... I was trying to be helpful but hey, if you're a billy big bollox then you post where you want but don't be surprised if you don't get a serious answer in general
