Hi old_andrew2007, If I read between the lines, do you think that my boyfriend will not have a acceptable CRB check to get on a NVQ course for Nursing ???

Hi old_andrew2007, Many Thanks for taking the interst in my thread... He is interested in Adult nursing rather than mental health or children - and hopefully enventually in a couple of years specialise in trauma. We live in London, so he will be looking to study and working in the Greater London area.

Dear All, I stumbled on this thread when I was searching for advice; and I have to say that it's been more help than CRB.org.uk! My Boyfriend would like to start working in the nursing field after a horrific traffic accident that meant he couldn't go back to being a tree surgeon. It's been a daunting task trying to find something that he would like to pursue... Anyways, to cut a long story short - He now has his heart set on being a nurse at the tender age of 40! I am really worried about his CRB check as he had a couple of criminal records - a couple of drunk and disorderly, and the main one being threating behaviour back in 1989. Like Joe Bloggs - I really want to know if he would be accepted on to a course and find employment due to his criminal records! I really don't want his dream to be dash after a horrid couple of years trying to get well from his accident and have something to look forward to...
