Australia will......

Answer 2

all of them at a guess, nobody in this country is forced to reveal their past unless you want to be a teacher, nurse, etc, and even then they have to do the searching. in fact the dole office encourage lying at interviews when asked about past criminal offences.

Answer 3

Having a criminal record is no bar for employment. Most employers take people on merit.

There are limitations though. If you have a criminal conviction for theft, you won't find a job handling money.

Having said that though, in Armley jail in Leeds, the prisoners had education classes from the university teaching advanced book-keeping. Every prisoner on the course was in for fraud!.

You couldn't make it up.

Answer 4

yes i do  but you should ask your probation officer

Answer 5

You are under no obligation to disclose the fact under the rehabilitationof offenders act if it is a spent offence, i.e if you've done the time or paid the fine for your crime.

The Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974 enables some criminal convictions to become 'spent', or ignored, after a 'rehabilitation period'.

A rehabilitation period is a set length of time from the date of conviction. After this period, with certain exceptions, an ex-offender is not normally obliged to mention their conviction when applying for a job or obtaining insurance, or when involved in criminal or civil proceedings.

The Act is more likely to help people with few and/or minor convictions because of the way further convictions extend the rehabilitation period. People with many convictions, especially serious convictions, may not benefit from the Act unless the last convictions are very old.
