RichL Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 no. Originally said by Charles Babbage On two occasions I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able rightly to apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PeterJames Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 no. Not quite true the crime needs to be shown as spent, otherwise the Police will not tell the potential employer what you did. I employed a drink driver on a current ban but the Police said no and wouldn't tell me why, as soon as his ban ended we screened him again and the Police said yes. We had already got rid of him by then but I was interested to find out if it was the ban preventing him from passing the screening Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had already got rid of him by then but I was interested to find out if it was the ban preventing him from passing the screening I'm guessing he wasn't an engineer? An engineer with a driving ban is about as useful as a chocolate fireguard. He was an engineer, a very good install engineer. Most of our installs are large commercials two-three or four man jobs so an engineer without a drivers licence just saves me money on fuel.

james.wilson Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 as above driving offences will show up if serious, ie drink, dangerous etc. I dont vetting so im unsure how it works. I thought the vetting process only checked for relevant (theft, deception etc) rather than anything? securitywarehouse Security Supplies from Security Warehouse Trade Members please contact us for your TSI vetted trade discount.

If you are already working for a co its unlikely that the ban would effect vetting because you have already been vetted. Our problem was the Police wouldnt tell us why we shouldnt employ this chap so we couldnt make an informed desision. The chap was insistant that he only had the DD offence, and the Police wouldnt tell me why I shouldnt employ him. I screened him the second time just out of curiosity Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
