You still haven;t said what line of work it is. So we don't know if it's a legal requirement, which for some jobs goes over and about referencing and DBS requirements.

Sorry didn't see this, he is in the sales sector so its all good in that respect
I am curious though as to your comment on it, I work in the charity sector and for example you can be as high as a trustee even if you have a spent terrorism charge without a waiver for example ( only know this as its something we have debated at work as it seems like it should exclude you ) and the same confidentiality rules apply so struggling to think of a role where a enhanced DBS check is not necessary - ie vulnerable adults/children - that it would apply to?
What sort of roles would it be a legal requirement for?

Schools, accountants, lawyers, doctors, that kind of thing. There are some things it would be illegal not to disclose. It's a requirement of the professional governing bodies. You were a little vague in "what happened" so it's hard to be specific. But you can't be a child abusing teacher or a patient abusing doctor. for example.
