Kristian   11 #2 Posted August 27, 2005 I think it very much depends on what kind of conviction you have. If it involves violence, I wouldn't think you have any chance at all, that's what the check is there for. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
royjames   10 #3 Posted August 28, 2005 Convictions for violence and or sexual convictions mean you wont get your license. When I got my CRB check they went right back to when I was a teenager and everything was on there,but if its only minor stuff or a long time ago you ought to be ok as long as its not the above.

cgksheff   44 #5 Posted September 1, 2005 The answers to a lot of your questions can be found on the Security Industry Authority website:  http://www.the-sia.org.uk/home/  You need to wait until 2 years after the end of sentence/penalty for all convictions and 5 years for "serious" convictions. With "serious" convictions they will look the specifics and patterns of offending before deciding. The website lists what they consider "serious" etc.  The cost of £190 cannot be reduced but it is tax deductible. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Scottyb   10 #6 Posted September 1, 2005 I have had loads of problems with the SIA, and my application forms. They rejected my 1st forms saying my bank details were incorrect, and I've resent them again, but there saying they haven't recieved anything yet to show this on there system, so it looks like I'm going to have to apply for a new passport & birth certificate.  If you're sending inportant documentation DO NOT make the same mistake as me! Make sure you send it by recorded delivery and not 1st class Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
cgksheff   44 #7 Posted September 1, 2005 I would always recommend that you keep a photocopy of the completed forms as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
