Old conviction still appearing on enhanced DBS after seven years

[itshereagain]

Seven years ago I was convicted of a crime, nothing violent or sexual. It shouldn’t show on an enhanced dbs according to everything I’ve researched once six years have passed but it does. Wondering if I need to do something in particular to remove it.

If it’s any consolation I once employed a teacher, who then went on to work in a local secondary school who had a conviction for ABH as a teen. (Drunken night out and hit a police officer who tried to arrest her). Her DBS didn’t stop her being employed in schools.

It isn’t that it stops you working in schools. It does stop you working in some schools as of course some till judge. It’s more that I don’t want to talk about it unless I really have to. I’m even finding it hard here. It really was a very painful period and I’ve blacked some of it out.

It eventually falls off but it could be 15 years.
I had an abh & assault on mine from teenage years, I'm now not far off my pension. The abh caution is still on there getting on for 30 years later but the assault fell off in about 2015/6
Give it time. Under the rehabilitation of offenders act 1974 they cannot really hold much against you after your offences are spent.
However it depends on what job you're going for. Why is it an issue? Im assuming you have a job interview

You really need to forgive yourself for this. You’re being very hard on yourself. I can understand being ashamed of it , but I think you need to allow yourself to have made a mistake. You’re allowed to have moved past that and redeemed yourself.

It isn’t that I haven’t forgiven myself. I just really don’t like talking about it.

I can kind of understand that in a way @eveningprimrose74 although I do know it’s really frustrating … violence is different though. I am sorry as it is hard when something just doesn’t reflect who / where you are now.

No need for sarcasm

it was meant to be a supportive post

I didn’t even know things came off dbs ‘s

That’s kind of the point @Blondeshavemorefun ; you don’t know, you have said so yourself. But you’ve repeatedly contributed to the thread nonetheless and it isn’t helpful.

Seems many people didn’t know that they come off possibly after 6 or 11 yrs if as someone said is a conditional discharge /so no sentence but if you do something in 12/18/24mths then it will count

people are trying to help and be supportive. As @DreamyScroller said you come across as quite rude

You don’t seem to know quite what you have and why some replies may not have been quite what you were looking for

you thought you had a caution. But as went to court it’s more than that

either way I wish you well and roll on 4/5yrs for you so comes off

I think you’ve replied a lot to the thread, which obviously I can’t stop you doing, but since you don’t know the answer to the question repeating this is tedious and irritating. It’s legal matters, I don’t know about anyone else but I don’t routinely reply to threads where I don’t know the answer and it puzzles me why people do. Not once but several times across the course of the evening.
