How Acceptable?
When people apply for a new job, the company for which they are applying will typically carry out a criminal record search such as those available from PeopleChecking.
The basic idea of a criminal record search is to find out if the candidate has any previous record of criminal activity. There are also varying levels of criminal record check, typically, the highest level of check would be resolved for the more important jobs with the greater responsibility.
For jobs without a lot of responsibility, a basic criminal record check would probably be most appropriate. At its basic level, the check will illustrate unspent convictions, this means that the offender has committed a crime recently and the crime hasn’t been wiped from their record.
At the standard level, the criminal record check will provide details of all previous convictions both spent and unspent. This kind of check would be best employed for people with a high level of responsibility where it is vital to ensure that they have never had any criminal intentions.
At the highest level of criminal record check, absolutely any information that may be deemed as remotely criminal will be illustrated. This level of check is suitable for those applying for positions with the highest level of responsibility such as judges and carers.
