Mike insults him & then threatens to report him. Now, which part of "genuine, honest advice" do you refer to?
Look, CRB checks are there for employers to make informed descisions as to who they can employ, and who is suitable for a job. (i'll try make it brief because it bores everyone when it goes to long, asides from that not many here have the equiptment to deal with the info)
Window cleaning is not subject to CRB checks. Not even if you clean a school or oap's home. That doesn;t stop some agencies taking the money and doing the check illegally for you. Even councils are starting to ask for this crap when it is of no concern to them. Infact its been so much abused and the system has been so heavily critiscised that the whole CRB thing has been disbanded and renamed the Discosure and Barring Service (its been amalgamated with other agencies).
This joker from the thread thinks its fine to advertise this..............

There isn't any category for any CRB, they are against you as a person, it would be the same if it was a prison, hospital, school or any other job. Of course there's no categorys of CRB's Richard. The different disclosures of information are just a figment of my imagination. I thought a basic one that you can obtain from disclosure scotland only discloses unspent convictions, and it does not disclose spent convictions, it does not disclose any attention you have recieved from the police (wether or not it resulted in a charge) it also importantly does not disclose anyone who is one the sex offenders register. Standard and enhanced are other options but they have to be warranted.
So thats where we are with that one. But you reckon it gets you work in schools etc ? LOL !!!
The Standard or Enhanced one can only be asked for if the position warrants it, thats a legal obligation. Just going in a school isn't enough, nor is just going in a OAP's home. BTW, if you get this wrong with an employee they can sue you. You also need to be registered to hold this info, and you can't disclose it willy nilly. If you get it through a third party as Lanes have done you're bound to the confidentiality agreement. Which he hasn't adhered to, its a criminal offence to ignore it. Maybe we can over look some crimes, and data protection issues to say the holder is sound? Or maybe we can just flout some laws to say we're law abiding?
Many people do not understand the whole CRB issue, thats amongst the reasons the whole system has been changed. The reason why i take umberance at anyones misuse of it is that i think we are all in a danger of sleepwalking into requiring it uneccesarily. Now that might seem hard to understand. Look at this recent debacle...................
http://www.swindonadvertiser.co.uk/news/9956891.School_wants_CRB_check_to_let_dad_watch_rugby_match/Now of course the school are acting over their remit, what you gonna do? Call the Police? Don't think so, our convoluted legal system works like he'll have to take them to court to be allowed to go.
Now Richard got his own CRB from disclosure scotland, so it cannot be a standard or enhanced one. But Richard reckonsd it hepl him get jobs in schools , OAP homes etc..
Lanes got his through a third party, and its confidential but he uses it without confidence for his own purpose. See how flawed the whole system is? And when someone asks you (outside of their remit) are you crb checked and you say, nor do i need to be. They say, oh how come...Lanes window cleaning is, and Richards property maintainance is......... They're making a rod for our backs.
