I'm currently on Support Group ESA with lower rate PIP. I was awarded it based on the excemptions 29/35 and I've been on it for a few years now. I used to be a bit aggressive and sometimes violent and this meant that I couldn't work. Although I've never been arrested for violence or anything..
I'm finally starting to feel better though. I was wanting to start getting into work and volunteering this year. My question is: Will this information be shown up on an Enhanced DBS & Barring check? Will I be allowed to work with children & vulnerable adults now that I'm well enough to work? Have I been added to any barring lists because of being on ESA/PIP?
I have no arrests or convictions or anything like that for violence or aggression. And all of that is in my past.
Does anyone know? My goal is to become a mental health worker or drugs counsellor. I know plenty of ex drug addicts who were in prison and are working with vulnerable peopel all the time?
