Background Checks
Background Checks are used for everything from employment to rental housing (Senior Citizens; Assisted Living; Section 8 Housing). A Background Check typically includes Social Security Number, Citizenship Status, criminal, commercial, and financial records and range from minimal sensitivity (such as employment for a minimum wage job) to high (such as a job related to the FBI or National Security). It may include property and driving records, drug testing, evaluations for Medical, Mental, and Physiological examinations, polygraphs and arrests/ imprisonment. Typically, a person cannot refuse a Background Check unless you wish to forfeit what you desire, e.g. that housing, that employment. Reasons for BCs include to verify personal information, personal honesty and integrity, exclude drug users, and general risk management.

Can I pass a background check with a withheld adjudication?
It may depend on several things, none of which is revealed by the question:
(1) What was the original offense or charge?
(2) What was the sentence?
(3) Did you successfully complete the terms of the sentence?
Since "adjudication withheld" means different things in different court systems,
(4) if #3 is 'yes,' what was the judge's final ruling in your case? Was it dismissed, or what?
Finally:
Unless the arrest, the charge, and the court action was EXPUNGED, your offense will appear on a background check.
Depending on the factors set forth above, if the employment questionnaire asks if you were ever CHARGED or ARRESTED you must answer yes, or risk having the employer think your are trying to conceal it.
If the background check is being conducted by a government agency (for employment or for a security clearance) it will make no difference if the record was expunged or not. Expunged records are accessible to background checks conducted by government agencies.

Will an employment background check show a careless driving conviction?
It depends on the level of background check, the offence and the disposal (sentence):
Basic criminal record check:
If the conviction is unspent, it will show up.
Convictions can take up to 7 years to spent, it depends on the sentence.
Convictions that result in a prison sentence of over 4 years will never be spent.
Standard and enhanced DBS check:If the conviction was for causing death or grievous bodily harm by careless/aggravated driving, it will show up forever.
If the conviction resulted in a custodial sentence, it will appear show up forever.
If you have more than one conviction offence, they will all show forever.
If non of the above apply, the conviction will stop showing after 11 years (or 5.5 years if you were under 18 when convicted).
Enhanced DBS check:
The police can include any information they hold on an individual as long as they believe it is relevant to a recruitment decision, so even if a conviction qualifies to come off a DBS check, the police can still choose to include it.
There are various organisations such as NACRO and Unlock who will advise on when a conviction is spent, whether it should show and what you should declare when applying.
