C...@Gyronny - I'm not sure that's correct.<br /><br />Clause 86(4) says:<br />"Any obligation imposed on any person by any enactment or rule of law or by the provisions of any agreement or arrangement to disclose any matters to any other person is not to extend to requiring the disclosure of a disregarded conviction or caution or any circumstances ancillary to it."<br /><br />My reading of is that means that such convictions are designated as disregarded and there would be no obligation to disclose.<br /><br />Your right about Scotland & Ireland but criminal law is a devolved matter (certainly to Scotland)Hywelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16094171587140185827noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34128264.post-86814507013282191602011-02-12T00:40:34.922+00:002011-02-12T00:40:34.922+00:00"wiping out convictions for consensual gay se..."wiping out convictions for consensual gay sex;"<br /><br />Sadly the Bill will not do this.

I can relate a personal incident where I rang up the Police to come and save ME from an abusive relationship (DV) When the Police arrived - my partner told them he was beating me because i left the kids home alone. The following year 2005, I did a CRB check even though I was not working with children.This incident was recorded on the CRB as any other information. I was livid - could not believe that my inviting the Police into my personal affair was now being used to my detriment. I wrote in to complain, but was told that it was their practice to include everyting. Though this bit on info disappeared when another CRB was done in 2006. The major concern rally is that there is wide spead mis-use of the requirement for CRB checks, this needs to be broadly emphasised to the wider public so that we can start challenging employers that delibrately want to pry into your life or are using this as a discriminatory tool against people seeking employment. the indiscriminate use of CRB must stop.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02521930360546757488noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34128264.post-50996466100491015642011-02-11T13:08:48.096+00:002011-02-11T13:08:48.096+00:00" Nick Clegg had a big consultation in the Su..." Nick Clegg had a big consultation in the Summer asking people for ideas for laws that could be repealed."<br />Sadly it will never happen Caron.<br />Like the time wasted debating the rights of prisoners to vote, our laws are now determined by the ECHR.<br />Even if parliament did defy the ECHR on prisoner voting etc it wouldn't put the ECHR up nor down. They would just keep fining us until we got back into line. Which we would do quietly in any case.<br />Oh and the march of the database is actually gathering pace in Scotland. Your kids are on numerous databases that you don't even know about. Their bio data is already stored and the 'generation Scotland' database is busily adding the adults. <br />Once the bio bank / generation scotland database is hacked and sold off then it's game over for personal privacy. Unless you get your dna/ date of birth/ genetic info etc.. replaced. Good luck with that.Winston Smithnoreply@blogger.com
