Hope that helps.

As the question was asked nearly two years ago, probably not

[Jubber]

Do they do them?

before you ask I'm not a nonse or anything. Just got in a few fights a few years back.

TIA

Getting back to the original question ..... what sort of gig is it? Three months data analysis at an Investment Bank.? They will just be checking for fraud via your credit check.

Not sure about any more 'meatier' banking roles, hands on with the cash roles, may be very different.

Hope that helps.

I don't get that part. Surely it is the Lefties who are in favour or forgiving criminals and letting them back out on the streets, and the Right in favour of stiffer punishments?

No - very odd - the only people who seem to be in favour of ID cards etc on here seem to be the ones who are most eager to slag NL at any chance too. Doesn't add up. Then again Stalinist ID card policies align with right wing extremists too (although even the BNP oppose ID cards).

BTW if you think CRB are inefficient, wait till your whole life depends on the "computer says no" database behind ID cards!

Blimey, I had no idea this board was so full of ex-crims.

Thanks MF. Next time I get offered a nicked plasma TV I may as well take the fcuker. Well done Tony Blaire and your left wing commis.

BNP all the way for me now.

Hi DGK

I'm in a similar position to you, execpt mine won't be spent for another 8 years. What did you do in the end? Did you take the job or just forgot about it? I've only got an interview on Monday, but I don't want to go through the hassle if there's no point.

The job on offer is VERY good though.

Cheers

Well so was mine. I've been arrested at least three times since then but not charged.

Cause when pushed I give a to someone.

At your age you want to start controlling yourself!

I know that the Data Theft Scandal is covered in another thread - but on the topic of convicted persons working in banks - the programme alledged that in a UK bank's call centre, somebody was working with an active court tag on his/her leg. Perhaps his/her convestion wasn't quite "spent"

[Pig]

I work in defence and I wouldn't tell them, if they find it I would hope that they would ask you about it (which they did). As long as your honest about it they is not normally a problem it's dis-honesty they don't like.
If it was while you were prior to being 18 years old it won't show anyway. Most professional services will ask. You could phone who ever is vetting you explain what it is and ask for advice.

Indiscretions with a youth? One off the what?

But do I own up to indiscretions of youth when asked? when the incident was over 10 years ago and was a one off?

You are gary glitter and I don't want anything at all from you, thanks all the same!

"[B]should[/B] be deleted after 10 years"

Doesn't always happen though. Also if you commit or are accused of committing another offence prior to it becoming spent it re-instates the rest for another 10 years.
You try to get CRB to change your file almost impossible mine has been attached to someone else's and I cannot get them to amend it. Currently seeing a lawyer and going to sue the boll*cks off them. Problems this has caused me are HUGE. Had vetting agency question me and social services all because some geek cannot sort it out!!!
