I've skimmed this entire thread and found it hilarious.

Why don't you move to one of those companies then, with a more desirable recruitment process?

Yeah, that - and - how do you know your managers / duty staff / HR don't know this already? I've heard they love hearing things over and over again from worried colleagues about irrelevant and silly little things!

A CRB includes motoring offences but would not be taken into consideration when a company decides if someone is fit to knock on a potential customers door. If however the person was convicted of a sex or fraud offence then surely they shouldnt be allowed to do be in a customers home?

Really? What if you're driving there? How can they trust you to park in the right place or to not speed on your way? I mean, as you have motoring offences,
you must be a felon!

I dont know why I am debating this point - its clear, if you have been convicted of theft, sex offences, fraud or violence with an unspent conviction then surely you should not be knocking doors?

You never mentioned the word 'unspent' or 'unserved' convictions in your original post. And as for asking why you're debating, this isn't a publicist site unfortunately, people have and will always have their right to post & express their views and opinions.

What is happening here - I will say it again - we have a duty of care to ensure all customers are protected against individuals that could cause harm based on their previous unspent convictions!!!

I'm
sure that Virgin Media are more than thorough with their checks when necessary. I doubt they would be so careless.
