Rejected petition Reduce the demand for CRB in job applicatoins, as this has gone crazy

More details

The governemnt complains that people are not trying hard enough to find jobs, prefering to exist on handouts.
Yet today I saw an advert for a job, demanding an existing CRB for working behind a Post Office counter.
This immediately reduces the options open to decent honest unemployed people.
This has become a pandemic in the employment market, way beyond the original requirement of the CRB.
This histerical demand for CRB needs to be reviewed, reduced, and of course made less profitable for those agencies providing it or you will never get people back into work.
