Deletion of ABH Caution for Health Care Professional

We have successfully had a police caution deleted for our client, a healthcare professional.

The caution had been issued for Actual Bodily Harm (ABH) in relation to a domestic incident with his wife.

As the caution was for ABH, which is on the DBS’s proscribed offences list, it meant that the caution would have been indefinitely disclosed on both an enhanced and standard DBS check.

On reviewing the police file we were able to assess that the incorrect caution had been issued, and the police ultimately, after an appeal, agreed to delete the client’s caution.

The police agreed to entirely delete the client’s PNC record, meaning that not only was the police caution deleted, but also that the PNC arrest record, fingerprints and DNA, and his custody image were deleted.

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.
