Is he allowed to work for an advice centre of any kind or a HIV/Aids charity? The latter must come under vulnerable people, surely.
Anybody working with young, old , disabled and vulnerable people has to by law be covered by a CRB , even on a volunteer basis ,in most cases now these are Enhanced Checks and are very in-depth..anything in his past would flag up a potential "warning bell" ..these "warning bells are never ignored by the "Employer"...
If Craigie has filled a CRB Check form out , then he has to disclose ALL his criminal convictions ...this then goes off to the police for clarification, now when that check got sent back to CAB they would /should have contacted the police to ask a question (although they would not get details from the police about the crimes) That Question being....BASED ON THIS PERSONS CRIMINAL RECORD DOES HE POSE A THREAT IN THE LINE OF WORK HE WILL BE DOING ? they will get their answer, go away and make a decision based on that answer...But if the police say he is a threat then they have to look out for the people for whom they are looking out for , if anything came to light after this fact, they would have to reconsider their decision ...Do you get what I'm saying Joanne ?
But if he wasn't quite truthful on his application then ,that's another matter ..
