Dear/Sir
I was convicted of drinking and driving in 1997. My level of alcohol was less than 40 reading.
Since then I have lived the trauma of the crime record that will be a stigma for life I guess?
Since then I never touch alcohol if I'm driving. Never.
I work with vulnerable adults and and since 2004 I have had 3 Enhanced Disclosure/CRB checks which were all clear none of them showed any record of conviction. Recently I moved to a new company and I thought that after such a long time.. 15 years and having seen the last 3 CRB checks clean I did not disclose the info of the conviction because I would not have a chance to get the job if I did so.
Today I received a copy of the new CRB check for my new post and saw that they have disclosed the conviction I got back in 1997. The info of the Drink and drive conviction are printed - and quite clear!!
I wasn't honest and now they know! I might never get a job again!!!
Do you think this is fair? I feel very distressed and upset because it seems that I will not have a chance to move on from the ONE mistake I have made in my juvenile past. Why they disclose it now.. after 15 years and not before?
Is there any way I can dispute this?
Yours Faithfully
