Why are only some sectors "vulnerable" and who is to make that call? How about the person cooking my food?

You're over-thinking it, trying to solve for a problem that doesn't exist. No one has a "right" to work for me. There's plenty of roles that accept ex-cons and orgs that actively hire them.

In the UK the equivalent is a DBS (Disclosure and Barring Service) check.

And indeed there are four different levels for that.
