I slapped my Step Daughter across the face when she was 15 for Lying she called the police and I recieved a caution. Since then I was given community service for drink driving and was put in a placement at Ability working with people with severe learning difficulties I asked to keep going as a volunteer but when they did a CRB check on me I was stopped because the caution came up as assault on a minor I enjoy working with Disabled people but because of this caution some 17 years ago I am prohibited. I have no history of violance against children or vulnerable adults and don't see myself as a threat why can't this caution be removed so I can work in a position I consider myself very good at I have a lot of patients when it comes to the disabled and mentaly handicapped people and while I was at ability did a lot of good work. But because of slapping my step daughter for telling lies this limits me where employment is concerned. I feel all circumstances should be looked into then decisions as to wheather you can work with these people taken accordingly not a blanket ban.
I feel more employment opportunities would be available if the above action was taken
