Hi there, I have been asked if anyone knows the answer to the following question. A friend started her current job 15 years ago and, at the time, was undergoing investigation for a theft which she disclosed. She was eventually fined for her actions and has been in continual employment (with the same employer) for the past 15 years. Her boss is selling up and has told her the new employer will wish to keep her on. Her conviction is, obviously, "spent" and she wants to know if the new employer asks her to disclose her criminal record, should she tell them, given the time that has elapsed? Many thanks to you all. Cheers.

Depends on what the job is - in some occupations a conviction is never spent.
Unless it is relevant or a full disclosure is needed then no keep quiet !
