fkoff you peadophile

[sn00per]

Assuming you either

a) Didnt declare previous convictions on the application form
or
b) made false claims on the CV regarding your previous work history/qualifications

then I wouldnt think you have a leg to stand on as you've purposely misinformed them.

I suspect it depends on the wording in your employment contract that you signed and whether or not you are in material breech of that.

A) definitely yes

B) Not so sure about as far as either goes maybe qualifications if one was deemed a requirement for the job

[chris1974]

snooper cheers i did not declere because they were over 6 years ago and it was nothing to do with children or offences along them lines

Then sorry to say chap I don't think you have a leg to stand on, feel free not to answer but surely you had to consent to a CRB check so why did you not come clean then and try and talk it through?

Depends what they asked you or what the question said and what your job is. The fact you're still only suspended means you may have hope.

Under the Rehabilitation Of Offenders Act 1974 you may or may not need to disclose previous convictions.
See: http://www.crb.homeoffice.gov.uk/about_crb/what_is...

If you were in the clear when you started the job then you have no need to worry.
If you weren't and failed to disclose offences that you should of then you might be SOL, as the job offer was probably conditional on a clean record.
However, they should of CRB'd you at the time (the offences would of come up), which clearly they either did not do, or the check was done and they were not concerned by the offences you failed to disclose.

Without knowing more its difficult to say if you have any recourse or not. I would recommend you call ACAS ( http://www.acas.org.uk) for further advice.

Edit: CRB has nothing to do with previous work history/qualifications. CRB is Criminal Records Bureau.
Work history/qualifications would be a background/reference check.

I am no employment lawyer just someone that has worked with HR on sticky employment matters for folks that work for me and have dealt with similar ish situations when people have been convicted of offences while in employment and for your employer to fire you for gross misconduct then you will have to be in very specific breech of the terms of your contract.

I would seek some legal advice etc maybe speak to CAB?

More to the point, what did you do?

[rufusgti]

for rape?

That in and of itself is not grounds for gross misconduct, at least as far as I know!

That's quite a problem. Expect to be looking for a job unfortunately, even though it's just a mistake it looks like malfeasance.

And why come on a car forum to ask these questions. This is your first post. It seems strange. I'm not sure i'd trust you.

My guess would be a new account for an existing member...
