[QUOTE="ollie989898, post: 7428572, member: 54866"] In answer to your first paragraph, I am not sure if a person legally has to declare any convictions, I would seek guidance on that as obliging people to declare them may be illegal itself under current employment law, I have no idea. It is understandable someone would be ashamed of any past convictions and may try to conceal them. Is this automatically suspicious though? Hard to say. Secondly, as I understand it, sex offences comprise a vast array of criminal acts. I believe a 15 year old who sends an explicit picture of themselves to another 15 year old has committed a sex offence but this is rather different to someone who has sexually assaulted 10 people- same offence but clearly incomparable crimes. It is worth noting that not all sex offenders are linked to crimes perpetrated against children but I accept many will be. As to your last question, it would depend on the nature of the business, the environment and the potential risks. Many businesses employ people who have done their time and been released from prison or similar establishments. I would imagine there are mechanisms in place where this is done. I honestly cannot tell you one way or the other. [/QUOTE]
