Hi helpful people,

I am writing on behalf of my Dear Dear Friend, he has beem working for the local council as a driver for 6 years only today he has been suspended for two weeks because about 1 month ago the council decided to do CRB checks:mad::mad::mad: on all employees and he had some convictions from before he started working for them, but has never had any problems since..when they originally received the CRB he was asked to expand on each conviction (there was 3) which he did in writing honestly and truthfully........Where does he stand? Can they sack him? is he better of resigning and looking for another job? Plz help hes a lovely bloke and commited to his job...

P.S Silly him hes not in the union grrrrr....

TIA

I would contact NACRO - they run a helpline for disclosure applicants.

the helpline for information and advice or ring 020 7840 6464 (freephone 0800 0181 259 for Disclosure applicants, their family and friends only).

When he filled out his disclosure did he declare his convictions? And was it a standard or enhanced CRB that they requested from him?

It may be that if he said that he did not have any then he is in contravention of the councils policy, but if he has then all of that has to be taken into account.

it may depend on what was said/written when he first took this job. If the council asked on the original employment form about previous convictions (ones that are not "spent") and he said that he did not have any--then he may have some problems. However, if they never asked he did not have a duty to tell them, and should be ok. It may also be worth him joining a union now, they may offer some advice even at this stage.
NACRO is a great idea.
good luck

Thankyou so much for your replies,

I dont think they asked him when he originally started but they are trying to get rid of people instead of making them redundant hence the CRB checks....Trying to get him to join a union now and I will also ask him to phone NACRO.

Thankyou

Is it remotely possible for you to make even a half arsed attempt at posting like you had an education? That lot above just makes you look like a Jeremy Kyle guest.
