Examples of types of convictions and what you should do;. If your organisation‘s CRB checks are processed by an umbrella organisation other than PCC, you must use the same criteria as PCC would when deciding whether the outcome of CRB checks is satisfactory and that the individual concerned is suitable to work with children, young people and vulnerable adults. The following is a non exhaustive list of examples of how the council would deal with particular disclosures. It is important to note that each case should be decided on its own facts and appropriate advice sought as necessary:-
(a) Sexual offences against a child or vulnerable adult– Offer of employment should not be made.
(b) Other sexual offences - the circumstances, age of the conviction, the type of job they are to be doing and the specific duties and the client group they are working with. If any doubt an offer of employments should not be made.
(c) Recent serious violent crimes and supply of drugs, or a pattern of possession which is recent would usually result in an offer of employment not being made.
(d) One off possession of cannabis, especially if some years ago - offer of employment would usually be made.
(e) Any convictions for theft, fraud, criminal damage etc are taken more seriously if the person has access to money, equipment or property or works in people's homes. An offer of employment would depend on the circumstances and the age of the conviction.
(f) Drink driving offences – this would be an issue where the applicant will be driving children, young people or vulnerable adults as part of their duties, or there is a pattern. A one off drink driving offence where the appointing officer is happy there is no longer an issue an offer of employment would be made.
(g) One off minor violence which can be explained, employment is usually offered but will depend on what the job is and the person's attitude towards the offence.
(h) Speeding tickets and parking fines do not appear on Disclosures.
