Can I still work with Kids?

[Jmc]

I will be getting a Drink Driving conviction and I'm guessing that will show on a CRB check...

Will that stop me working with children?

I am a self-employed personal trainer, also teaching gymnastic/martial arts classes to all ages?

Can I still do this?

There are no generic, specific rules regarding this. Whether a conviction is of such a nature as to affect your suitability to work with children or other vulnerable sections of society is a matter entirely within the discretion of any potential employer or regulatory authority.

Thank you, that makes me feel a little better.

So it shouldn't affect my holding my own classes for kids?

No. Although this would be subject to clearance from any regulatory body that you might have to notify. I am not familiar with regulations in this area or whether this is an activity that is in fact regulated in any way.
