CRB Checks
Dear The Marine Society and Sea Cadets,
Here is a link to some criminal conduct offences capable with disposal at a HM Forces summary hearing (a solicitor is not allowed for summary hearings):-
http://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2006...
These are the same conviction as if the criminal proceedings came from any other court in the land.
Subject to the freedom of information act 2000:-
1) What is the policy of volunteering as a adult to help supervise Cadets if the adult has a criminal record?
Often members of HM Forces do not realise that they have a criminal conviction from a summary hearing, as they have been denied legal advice. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/d...
2) Could I please request, if an ex HM forces soldier applied to become a civilian instructor at a cadet unit on leaving the forces. With which convictions from this list in the link bellow would he be allowed to supervise children? http://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2006...
3) If there are criminal convictions listed in 2) that would stop an adult working with children as a civilian instructor on leaving the forces, surely the same should be true for all military personnel who might supervise the cadets. Are CRB checks carried out on service personnel? Any policy you have would be appreciated.
Yours faithfully,
