    The Subject Access isn't meant for employment purposes. If you go to the unlock.org.uk site, they will be able to tell you your possible future employers are able to insist on a DBS check. If they aren't but are doing so, then they are breaking the law. Mind you, there have been many cases of this DBS checks being illegally requested but I understand that nobody's been prosecuted to date. Good luck.

    But I have no convictions so I have to pay for a blank report? The employer states if successful the person has to supply it.

    Yes. You'll have to prove to them that your record is clean. This system is turning out to be quite a money spinner. But really, you should be so glad. I wish if I was in your position. Keep it that way. :-)

    Beleive it or not, I thought that way at one time. There are around 9 million people in the UK with Criminal Records. Some very famous people have convictions such as Stephen Fry and American Bill Gates. There are many more people who might have records, but weren't caught or for some reason or other didn't get convicted.
