I have name changed as I am a little bit mortified about my past, please could I have some advice?
I have made some appalling decisions when younger and am 8 years post Bankruptcy now - I appreciate this would disbar me from being a solicitor, but would it be the same for Paralegal work?
I also have a caution from 3 years ago for harassment to my ex partner (I was pregnant when he left me for the ow, and I was trying to persuade him to be involved with my child - I know this is no excuse, but it is the surrounding circumstances)
I read that criminal record checks are rarely taken out for paralegals entering a firm, but I am now starting to have doubts as the time comes for me to finish my qualification.
I have loved my course, I want to provide for my child and set an example to him, I so want to pursue this avenue of work - but I'm terrified my past is going to stop me.
Please can anyone offer me some insight?
Thank you in advance
