Hi guys



So many of you amazing people who offered me some really good support during my friends investigation he's currently on SOR and has an SHPO aswell as on probation and he's asked me an question regarding work I said ask his worker but he said he doesn't want to ask her so the question is, is it possible for him to work in security during the times he's on everything.



Any answers or just anything is much appreciated

Hi...

My partner looked into security and taxi driver Jobs after going onto the SOR as his SHPO only as one directive...not to delete internet history.

Unfortunately to go into security you need to be accredited and issued a certificate to work. To get accredited you need to pass an enhanced back security ground check by DBS. His conviction now bars him from applying.

Taxi drivers also had there terms of employment changed a couple of year's ago due to a high profile case involving the rape of drunken/drugged passengers by the taxi driver.

The law was changed making all drivers having to pass enhanced disclosure checks before approval of license by councils.

Hi Sam

Good to hear to are still supporting your friend I hope he realizes how fortunate he is to have your support that in itself is so important what a great friend you have been x

I would say to go on the unlock website as they can offer some good information relating to jobs

Any role that requires a DBS check will show his conviction

I wish your friend good luck and hope he can get something soon

Take care both of you xx
