After recently being involved in an interview selection panel at my own place of employment a guy who, to be fair, came across very well at the interview stage,
admitted he had a problem " in the distant past ", but it was when he was young and he impressed enough to be given a job pending his CRB check.

It turned out he had " forgotten " a list of criminal activities including a recent spell of nine months at HMP for assault with regular offences,including violence, over both recent and bygone years.

Only a decade or so ago this guy, and many others like him, would have managed to secure employment and would have been free to prey upon others so no matter how much some may choose to criticise our politicians and law makers they do occasionally come up with decent legislation.

Plenty of individuals with criminal records have rehabilitated and gone on to work successfully in their chosen professions
