Hey Team, am adopting and about to do interview etc. Will my mums drink driving ban from 10 years ago be an issue? She will be a part of the child's life (not live in but visits etc.) but is now recovered etc.
Thanks! C

How would they even find out?
They don’t do DBS checks on the grandparents.

If you mentioned it - can’t believe they would blink much of an eye.

I don't see why this would come in to conversation to be honest, unless this is a part of a bigger picture of alcoholism that you have raised and discussed with your social worker.

I wouldn't mention it.
SS can grab onto anything and make it a bigger issue than it is and the more you try and defend yourself the worse it looks.
I've learnt to keep non-issues like this to myself.
