how long do they ask im sure mines 10 years

A basic check will only show up un-spent convictions...how long it takes for a conviction to be considered spent depends on the offence and punishment.

PNC print outs will show up every conviction you've ever had, as well as every arrest or charge where you were not convicted.

I was informed by my local JC that they no longer pay for CRB checks no matter what or who for, they said they used to but the system was being abused.

Volunteer as a Scout Leader and get an enhanced CRB for free. Well, this is a money-saving site is it not?.

Who knows, you might actually enjoy a bit of volunteering (and it looks good on the old CV to).

No anybody from England, Wales or Scotland can get it through them and NI residents can get theirs from Access NI.

From http://www.businesslink.gov.uk

Applicants from England, Wales and Scotland should apply online to Disclosure Scotland for a basic disclosure certificate.
You can apply online for a basic disclosure certificate on the Disclosure Scotland website - Opens in a new window.
Applicants from Northern Ireland should apply by post to Access NI.
Information on applications for a basic disclosure certificate on the Access NI website - Opens in a new window.

A disclosure from DS is never the less valid.

An individual can obtain basic, standard and enhanced through this agency (may require countersignature).

Yes, once you have obtained your personal licence it is valid for 10 years (unless it is forfeited by the courts because you have been convicted of a relevant offence or you surrender the licence). A personal licence stays with you when you move from job to job in England and Wales (a different licence is required in Scotland because they have their own alcohol laws).

It sounds like OP has passed the required qualification with their current/previous employer but has not yet obtained the licence. (the qualification is only one of the requirements for a licence and in itself is not enough to allow you to authorise sales of alcohol).

So, a £10 Subject Access Request to your local Police Station just gets you a printout?

Why would an arrest show up if you were never charged afterwards? Seems highly unfair to me.

Yes, a Subject Access Request can be used to get a PNC printout about yourself (you'll obviously need to prove you are you because of the sensitive nature of the information contained on PNC they have to be extremely careful about who has access to the information).

The Police National Computer is not a record of convictions. It is a fairly comprehensive record of all police contacts with individuals so it shows up arrests, cautions, convictions, traffic offences and will also show up instances where you have been a victim of or reported a crime. Where someone was arrested for an offence but didn't go on to be charged it says that. It will also show up if you were charged but later acquitted at court. I don't understand why you think this isn't 'fair', it is simply a record of facts.
