Our client had been issued a caution for Actual Bodily Harm (ABH). ABH is on a list of offences that will always be disclosed on both an enhanced and a standard DBS certificate.
The caution had been issued in the context of an acrimonious separation, and the incident had come about due a period of acute stress and provocation.
Our client was working in a regulated sector, and being the sole career and provider for her family, meant the caution was having a devastating impact.
On reviewing the evidence we were able to identify errors in the client’s case which meant that the caution had been improperly issued.
After preparing carefully drafted legal representations, the police agreed to delete the client’s caution from the PNC and also her biometric data.
