So DH has just been offered a job. Because it is in a college they told him he needs a DBS check (even though he will not work directly with children - it's maintenance).
More than 20 years ago he was involved in a mass brawl and convicted of affray. He was 16 at the time. A quick search online shows that this is an offence which is not cleared from a DBS record even after many years. Is this right? We have no idea what we should do now. Should he tell the potential new employers? I guess this means he won't get the job now? I'm heartborken - he has been searching for a long time and we were over the moon when he was offered this job.
