Hi there,
There are some people offering employment on here with a caveat that an applicant must undergo a DBS/enhanced check. I must point out that in most cases this requirement is actually illegal and the person requesting it is committing an offence.
There is literally no case whereby a a photocopier engineers job would require them to have a DBS check. This requirement is being added as a way to circumvent the rehabhilitation of offenders act that states that when sentence is served and 'spent' a prospective employer does not need to know and cannot request information. Please ensure that DBS checks are being used in accordence with the law it is not a legal defence to say that the contract with a customer required it, the clause in any contract is void and it is the person asking the applicant who commits the offence not the person making the contract.
