Arrest Record Deleted

Our client, a busy professional, had been accused of assault in the context of a neighbour dispute. There had been a going dispute between the client and the complainant; the complainant made a fabricated allegation to the police which precipitated the arrest of our client.

Our client had never been in trouble before and had a long and distinguished career. He was held overnight in police custody, and after being interviewed, the case was dropped by the police.

As our client had been arrested, his details had been added to the Police National Computer (PNC), and also the Police National Database (PND), his biometric data had also been taken. Our client was concerned that these details might be disclosed on an enhanced DBS check and so instructed us to apply for their deletion.

After reviewing the client’s case we applied for the deletion of the PNC record, and after a a relatively brief period of time, the police agreed to the complete expungement of the PNC record, biometric data, and the custody photograph that was taken of our client. We have now separately applied for the deletion of the PND records.

We have extensive experience in applying for the deletion of police cautions in relation to many different police forces.

Along with applying for the deletion of police cautions, we are also able to assist with the deletion of PNC arrest records, community resolutions, harassment PINs, Penalty Notices for Disorder (PNDs), biometric data (including custody images) and local police records held on the Police National Database (PND).

Along with applying for the deletion of police records, we can also assist with challenging DBS disclosures on both standard and enhanced DBS certificates. Our lawyers also have extensive experience in challenging DBS barring decisions; both appealing existing barrings, or resisting a new barring application.

We can also assist with applying for the removal of online records, such as unfavourable news articles under the right to be forgotten (the right to erasure).

Also if you, or a loved one, has received a restraining order, we will be able to assist in its removal or amendment.

We are also able to help if you are being investigated by a regulator including the General Medical Council (GMC), the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC), the Health Care Professions Council (HCPC), the General Pharmaceutical Council (GPhC), Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA), the General Optical Council (GOC), the Association of Accounting Technicians (AAT), the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants (ACCA), the General Dental Council (GDC), the General Osteopathic Council (GOsC), Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales (ICAEW), the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons (RCVS), and the Teaching Regulation Agency (TRA).

In most cases we offer fixed fees, unfortunately we do not offer legal aid.
