Virgin are not drawing a line so you have no way of knowing whether or not you should let them in to your house. Again, the is the entire point of this thread.

virgin cant draw a line in real terms that's my point
as the law stands only certain prescribed jobs and those where the employee has substantial or unsupervised access to children or vulnerable adults can have their background checked for convictions !
what virgin can do and most likely do already is ask people on their application and even then just because some one has an unspent conviction doesn't mean that they should be denied a job
and its really none of the other employees business what convictions other employees have and virgin could get in trouble if it went around telling them about other employees pasts ( which is what the thread started on sort of
)
as to your bit about coming into your house that's a whole other thing for that you would need them to change the law but even then it wont make it much safer as CRB doesnt insure they are safe
personaly i would never let anyone unsupervised access to my house no matter what checks they had done to them
and my wife would never invite a salesman in with out me being there ( unless they looked like brad pit and i wasnt arround
lol )
see the advice given in these to stay safe

which is good advice to give to any older relatives and to emphasise to children ( young adults ) left in charge of the house on thier own
