Jobcentre Plus Interview

Neilandrewhall

Hi Everyone

Ill explain my story;

I was a Gamesmaker for the London 2012 games, and basically as a "Games Graduate" i went for a interview on Monday at a Jobcentre In London, Now i have a previous conviction which i was not convicted of, i was mistaken for someone but i was found guilty for 7 months until it was appealed at the high court; now they made me do a CRB check but will this come up on a Government CRB? or do you think it might be just a basic one? seeing as i had to be CRB for the Olympics and they didn't say anything

I believe it would come up on a CRB enhanced check but that you would have nothing to worry about as the case was overturned. As an ex-employer I had to have CRB checks done for all my staff and many had convictions, it is up to the discretion of the employer how serious the convictions are to them and their business - I can't see from what you have said how this 'conviction' would be held against you.

Long as you wasn't acquited due to a technicality and it's just you who's claiming to be mistaken for someone else, then it's all good. It'll show on enhanced CRB checks. Not sure about basic CRB checks.

The Crime that i was found Guilty for, was Benefit Fraud so that's why im a bit worried working in a Jobcentre, but then it was someone who uses these forum's who set me up on my previous account, who managed to use all my Identity and then i got convicted but overturned by a high judge

No It will not. LOCOG and the ODA used Disclosure Scotland for their checks
