I work for the NHS and although I dont work with really really sick people I do work with sick people e.g. Dialysis

I did have to have an enhanced CRB and was also asked during interview for the job about any convictions "spent" or "unspent".

I had to supply 2 forms of ID like tv licence and utility bill also something like original birth certificate not a replaced one and or passport, valid driving licence or marriage certificate.

They also needed 2 referee's so that they could get some individual background information.

Of course this is not VM its the NHS but the same can apply even if its not an Enhanced check they could do standard checks which the "Other relevent information" would be missing.

I do see the persons point of checks, if I understand the sales bit he says that these people do door to door sales, so in that respect they are all classed as vunerable people.

If we are talking sales over the phone then perhaps its not such a problem, although I suppose if they are dealing with it like the do in banks from what I understand they wont employ anyone with CCJ's or anyone that has been declared bankrupt because they are dealing with money.
