CRB check

[postage]

My friend has started a new job and she loves it – she has been there 3 months and they have asked to do her crb check
She has a conviction going back 4 and half years ago where she had argument with her boyfriend and she was given a criminal record of harassment she got community sentence. Will she loose her job?

I agree with Paula, she should pre-warn her employers that there may be something come up and explain what and why it is there
Honesty is always the best policy with this

I know someone that was going to get sacked over something but the supervisor who had a lot of clout leaned on the manager who leaned on those above him etc... So if she's liked by the managers or supervisor this maybe something she should declare because they could then put in a good word for her and look the other way this time, I don't think it'd be a problem anyway. I wish her good luck and will include her in my prayers tonight.

pink-kittens- I think the confusion about the form was because postage was talking about two forms: the form completed by the friend when she started and now the CRB form

It is confusing when friends post for friends :D

If it's anything to do with the government or similar then it may have an impact. I know places where temps are not subject to checks but official employees are so a temp who is taken on by the place could have been working for months unchecked then have to be checked to be cleared for a permanent position.

Some places can have very strict policies nowadays, I know of ones where all staff, however junior, have to be credit checked and no clear check = no job.

If I was an employer where something came up an employee hadn't been honest about I'd be wondering what else I might not have been told and question their integrity. They may just be looking to protect themselves from more serious "criminals" and may be fine if she is honest and explains.

It could also impact on reference and getting another position should the worse happen and she end up out of a job because of not coming clean.
