In the literal sense, yes. Only reason I know was I was confiding in a teacher once who explained to me about full disclosure so he had to tell my head of year what I'd said.
But that doesn't seem to fit with the employer covering the cost... I'd wait for someone more knowledgable to fill you in
wonder if its anything to do with a crb check(criminal records) and all that stuff, so they can check you are who you say you are and have proof you aint lied about your history. I had one done when i applied to the police, but didnt have to pay coz i guess they have all that info to hand?
I think the jobs ive seen it required for were NHS jobs so that might fit.
The Criminal Records Bureau deal with [In England and Wales] the "Disclosure", many people have it especially if they are working with childen or vulnerable adults, e.g. healthcare workers.

thank you.
It helps to give a false name and dodgy address. If only it tied up with my name badge. :chin:
Can anyone tell me what the difference is between a standard disclosure and an enhanced one? People are telling me different things and i'm getting very confuzzled!! :crazyeyes Also, how long do they take to come?
An enhanced one just means it checks more details. Read Panthro's link.
I had to get one for looking after some school pupils
I had to get one for my new job
That would be funny if it wasn't a doctor saying it. Too many real cases...
But yeah, been there, done that. Didn't get a T-shirt though, tight bastards :mad:
I am doing Primary Education. A full disclosure is normally needed when you are working with children, healthcare etc.
An enhanced CRB disclosure can show police cautions as well as criminal convictions. Although mine didn't.
I believe it is five years, depending on what you were actually convicted of. I think its longer for s18 GBH, but I'm not sure.
Ring up the court, they'd be able to tell you.

Cheers. That'll be 5 years then.
If you ever want to work with kids or other vunerable people you will have to get a disclosure, which will show your offence up.
Yes, some positions are "exempt" from the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act, i.e. you have to declare everything even if spent. Examples are working with children or vulnerable adults, pharmacist or other job where you come into close proximity to controlled drugs, barrister, bank manager etc. These positions will require you to do a Criminal Record Bureau check (or disclosure).
