Lying is an offence. But not everyone on the sex offenders register is a hardened serial sex threat either. The employer isn't responsible for people outside of work - and realistically, ex-convicts do need to work somewhere, even sex offenders. Plenty of people who get added only spend 5 years on the register for 'relatively minor offences'. Most aren't serial rapists, hardened nonces or child rapers.

That's reserved for a different list (used to be called List 99).

I know of a nonce who has had loads of jobs since being released. Not many companies check the CRB and if he is not in a job directly involving children then most dont check. the guy worked in McDonalds for a while they have famalies and Childrens parties but dont check. He has to change his job all the time as the mother of the child he touched phones up his new employers and lets them know his history. Shocking really. Should be something in place that as soon as he hands over his NI number that somewhere someone flaggs up that he is on the register and starting a new job.

Right, Gary Numan, spanking, electronic v*****s...

Has one of you hacked my PC?

It's good to know that not all ice-cream van operators are kiddie fiddlers or drug dealers.

I guess they do have to work somewhere though, and its pretty hard to find work where there isn't some kind of potential conflict or hypothetical interaction with kids.

That said, I'd also want to see places like McDonalds not having children's parties.

Yeah I'd imagine that McDonalds etc. aren't particularly fussy about employees. I used to work for a guy who'd managed a Burger King, and his primary concern was really whether or not people could be trusted to turn up for their shift and weren't so dumb they'd accidently burn the place down.

Not saying people shouldn't be able to work because of X y and z.(there's loads of sh!te jobs around that they can be doing!)
More that the people around them should be entitled to be aware of there situation. Especially if they are 'registered' for it.
If you know you work with a paedophile your not really going to show them pictures of your kid. Likewise if you work with a thief your not going to leave your valuables around them, or if you work with mr freedman your not going to expect any kind of loyalty from him!
