Child Neglect Caution Deleted

Our client had been issued with a police caution for child neglect.

The client was been said to have left her children alone for a period of time when they had both been under the age of 10 years old.

At the time the client had just gone through an acrimonious separation, and was dealing with becoming a single mother in difficult financial circumstances.

After rebuilding her life she looked to move into a regulated role, however as she had a caution for child neglect, her caution was permanently disclosable on an enhanced and standard DBS check, and so she experienced significant difficulties in developing her career.

After instructing us, we investigated the client’s case and advised her that there was a basis for the deletion of her caution and we prepared detailed representations to the police for the expungement of her record.

The police initially refused to delete the caution, however after providing further detailed representations, and additional evidence, the police finally agreed to expunge the client’s caution.

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.
