As for my Criminal Convictions, I was directly asked if I had a record and I answered honestly, I didn't find the question a problem as I didn't fill an application form, so the Webcam Convo was effectively my application form...Because of the job I want(Support Work or Residential Social Worker), I have to declare everything even crimes as a minor, if I so much as fart in clean air and get in trouble for it I have to declare it whether Spent or Not
Yeah, support work/social work type roles are exempt from Rehabilitation of Offenders Act - but can be used to your advantage if the role involves acting as a mentor - i.e you have got the tshirt, but are making sure no-one else gets it too.
