Enhanced Criminal Record Bureau checks

by franklittle on 23 May, 2009

Lancashire councillor Richard Baum raises an important matter on his blog. When does a prospective employer’s right to know about ones fitness for the job stray into an invasion of ones privacy? A Guardian contributor has taken up the issue of enhanced CRB forms, but it has not otherwise made much of an impact in the national media.

I would be interested to know (in confidence, of course) if anybody here has felt compromised by having to fill in one of these forms.

    Hi Frank,

    Thanks for this link (and the comments you’ve put on my blog previously about other things). I do think this is a very important topic. Dozens of people have contacted me about this issue, just from reading about it on the blog. I welcome any support to try and get things made fairer. I have spoken to Chris Huhne about it so hopefully we may be able to challenge the law as a party.

    Best wishes,

    Rick
