ABH Police Caution Deleted

Our client had been issued with an Actual Bodily Harm (ABH) police caution a number of years ago. The client was now a successful international businessman, and frequently needed to travel overseas.

The client was looking to relocate for an extended period of time, however his police caution would have been revealed on his ACRO police certificate during background immigration checks.

We applied to the police for the client’s records, and even though the caution have been issued a number of years ago, and the amount of evidence was fairly limited, we were able to identify a very clear breach of the police caution guidance.

We promptly prepared detailed representation on our client’s behalf, and presented our findings to the police.

The police promptly acknowledged that they had made an error and expunged the client’s caution, PNC arrest record, and his biometric data.

Now that the caution is deleted, the client’s ACRO police certificate will state “no trace”.

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.
