CRB Check - Has anyone had problems with a caution?

must simple cautions for shoplifting be declared when applying for bar licences?

when I was 15, I got a reprimand for shoplifting got told it would be removed after 5 years? is this information still correct. I am now 20 and would like to wok as a nursing assistant ?

hello there,

I have just applied for volunteering and have required to undergo an DBS check. A few years ago, me and my mate were caught taking a lipstick and the police were called in. The manager seemed to be forcing the police to take us to the station (the police did not really want to take us as it was minor). It was the first time and a stupid mistake under peer pressure. I addmited at the station and was crying and asked for a solicitor as I was really upset and my first and last mistake howevwr the police said not to worry as it is nothing serious. We were allowed to go back home and were called back to the station after a month and the police said not to see me again there and also I dont remember them stating that I have recieved a caution etc
. So when filling my dbs form, I declared I have had no offences, warnings or cautions. I am now worried what if my dbs check shows my mistake when i said I have never been convicted. I am a totally different person, out of peer pressure and with the good crowd going to uni.

Help as I am worried that I havnt stated on my dbs form that I have never been convicted as I cant remember been given a caution.

Thanks! Please someone reply

I was given a reprimand for shoplifting when I was 16 - this was nearly 6 years ago and it's always appeared on my crb checks. Is it right that it doesn't show after 2 years now due to new laws?

Thanks

This Reprimand will be filtered off even enhanced certificates and will not need disclosing and will not appear as a reprimand
There are two provisos . 1. The Police retain a discretion to mention even an arrest as discretionary disclosure but most unlikely and that can most likely be appealed before employer gets to know so no need to panic
secondly if you apply to work with police MI5 or other govt security services it wld need disclosing as higher security
You can apply to remove reprimand altogether and if granted this could help on such security jobs.

A more widespread unknown problem is that filtering off does not affect need to disclose criminal record on many visa applications .This will delay and possibly stop visa so if you can remove reprimand altogether it saves long term problems

Thanks David. So how do I go about getting reprimand removed? Thanks.

I had a caution I think way back in 1992 (shoplifting a desk tidy lol oops I had enough money to buy 5 of them in my wallet) I had an enhanced disclosure in 2009 which brought up nothing. However the system has recently changed do you guys think it will come up on a new DBS check?

The caution will now be filtered off for employment purposes and will not appear automatically as a caution at the top of a criminal record certificate – and does not need disclosing on job applications.
However, the police have a discretion to put these cautions which have been filtered off as discretionary enhanced disclosure in the same way as if you had just been arrested or indeed just questioned informally. It is most unlikely but if they decide to do that the certificate will be sent to you. 1st of all – not an employer so you can appeal and if you let me know then I will give further advice as to how to do that

However, although filtered off in this country for employment purposes, it still remains on your police national computer record and should be disclosed on applications for many visas to go abroad.you would probably get the Visa, but it would cost money and it can take quite a few months – please see problems Nigella had last week

However, it is possible to apply for an old caution to be removed – it is in the discretion of the police, but if you want to know more please enquire

I recieved an notification stating my DBS application has been returned to the countersignatory who submitted the application because errors have been identified on the form. Please contact the Umbrella or Registered body that countersigned the application.

What does this mean?? Is it an error I have made or the organisation who countersigned my form.

Regards

Hello David,

13 years ago, when I was 17 (nearly 18), I was charged with theft from my employer. The police said they couldn't give me a caution because it was theft from my employer as opposed to just theft.

I had to go to youth court but wasn't given a custodial sentence or community service. I actually thought the judge gave me a caution as I was let go without punishment and was told by the judge that coming to court was enough punishment for me and not to do it again.

However, I have done some research on youth sentences and only the police give you cautions so I am a little confused about what sentence I received; maybe it was an absolute discharge? My release wasn't conditional in anything.

Anyway, I am now applying to work for the NHS and need to know if my conviction will be filtered?


Its weird because I have worked as a volunteer, mentoring secondary school kids and had to do a crb check but nothing came up (I didn't disclose it then as I thought it had been deleted).

I have also worked at a central bank and cleared that crb check too.
