(1) A person must not, in connection with-
(a) the recruitment of another person as an employee,
(b) the continued employment of another person, or
(c) any contract for the provision of services to him by
another person,
Q1) Is being a company director the provision of a service by the
director, to the company? (I know at least one company that would like
its directors to self-provide a criminal record check).
Q2) Presumably none of this applies to the US (and maybe other)
Embassies, which require the self-provision of criminal record checks
for the purposes of deciding whether to issue a visa?
