Eeek! Loophole in Criminal Record Check
Hellooooo, I haven't posted on here in ages as I moved to london, but though i'd return with a bit a controversy.

I recently found out through some training at work that when foreign workers apply for jobs working with children/vulnerable people or jobs in high security positions any overseas convictions will not show up on their Criminal Record Bureau (CRB) check.


CRB checks only cover convictions in the UK. So I believe that some major failings are imminent in terms of a sex offender working in a nursery or a violent criminal working in baggage control.

What are other peoples views on the matter?


I (clearly) feel very strongly about this so I have made an online petition to try and get something done about this. please sign it if you agree with the outline will only take a couple of mins. the website is Petition to: impose compulsory checks on overseas workers. | Number10.gov.uk

Also here are some links to pages that also discuss the issue

Care home workers go unchecked, police warn - Times Online

Foreign criminals work at airports unchecked - Telegraph

and a couple of videos

BBC NEWS | Programmes | Newsnight | Airport workers security risk

BBC NEWS | UK | Minister on airport security

CRB checks in general are pretty-much a waste of time TBH. The system is so badly managed and full of errors & backlogs, whilst ACPO have taken a lot of flack for running it as a for-profit monopoly venture for themselves.

I refused to submit mine for work because the handbook appeared to give no way of challenging or filtering any results except through their lens and after a hellish couple of years in my past when the police pursued me hard for a couple of very serious offences before having to issue a full apology for chasing the wrong man & subjecting me to a load of truly illegal "investigation methods," I simply didn't trust them enough anyway and saw no reason to wake-up that unpleasantness all over again. Some years down the line, I'm still in my job, have been promoted and still occasionally work wirh kids.
