<p>The simple answer to this question is that a police caution can be overturned, but it will depend on the circumstances.</p>
<p>If your caution has been unfairly issued, for example the police have unfairly pressured you into accepting a caution, or where you did not admit to the allegation, then you may have a good case to have your caution overturned.</p>
</div><div class="fusion-title title fusion-title-1 fusion-title-text fusion-title-size-two"><div class="title-sep-container title-sep-container-left fusion-no-large-visibility fusion-no-medium-visibility fusion-no-small-visibility"><div class="title-sep sep-double sep-solid" style="border-color:#e0dede;"></div></div><span class="awb-title-spacer fusion-no-large-visibility fusion-no-medium-visibility fusion-no-small-visibility"></span><h2 class="fusion-title-heading title-heading-left" style="margin:0;">How do you get a caution expunged?</h2><span class="awb-title-spacer"></span><div class="title-sep-container title-sep-container-right"><div class="title-sep sep-double sep-solid" style="border-color:#e0dede;"></div></div></div><div class="fusion-text fusion-text-2"><p>In the first instance you will need to apply to the police to have your caution overturned. You will need to set out your case in detail, explaining why it is, according to the law, that you think your caution is unlawful.</p>
<p>The police will consider your case, and provide you their decision. The person deciding your case will usually be officers/lawyers who were entirely separate from your original case.</p>
<p>If the police refuse to delete your caution, you can then appeal. If this appeal is refused, then you can consider appealing your case to the <a href="https://www.gov.uk/courts-tribunals/administrative-court" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Administrative Court</a> (the Administrative Court is a specialist Court within the Queen’s Bench Division of the High Court).</p>

Some police forces take much longer than others to come to a decision. Also the more complex your case, then generally this will have a knock on effect on how long it takes the police to decide.</p>
<p>Sometimes the police might feel they need independent legal advice, and will seek advice from specialist solicitors or barristers, which will make your case take longer.</p>

<p>The police may completely remove your record from the PNC, or they may change your record to state No further Action (NFA), the outcome will depend on the facts and circumstances of your case.</p>
<p>When you are investigated by the police, along with potentially creating records on the PNC, the police will also create locally held police records. Even if you did not receive a police caution, these local records can still be disclosed on an enhanced DBS certificate as “relevant information”, depending on the circumstances.

The police must state the caution before any questions about an offence can be asked. The CODE C Guidance to the Police and Criminal Evidence Act 1984 (PACE) states the following:</p>
</div><div class="fusion-reading-box-container reading-box-container-1" style="--awb-title-color:#18b38c;--awb-margin-top:0px;--awb-margin-bottom:20px;"><div class="reading-box" style="background-color:#f6f6f6;border-width:1px;border-color:#f6f6f6;border-left-width:3px;border-left-color:var(--primary_color);border-style:solid;"><div class="reading-box-additional">
<p>A person whom there are grounds to suspect of an offence, see Note 10A, must be cautioned before any questions about an offence, or further questions if the answers provide the grounds for suspicion, are put to them if either the suspect’s answers or silence, (i.e. failure or refusal to answer or answer satisfactorily) may be given in evidence to a court in a prosecution.</p>
</div><div class="fusion-clearfix"></div></div></div><div class="fusion-text fusion-text-9"><p>The police do not need to make an arrest in order to caution someone, often people will be interviewed by the police as “volunteers” and will not be placed under arrest. Prior to the commencement of an interview a suspect will be “cautioned”, namely read their rights. The caution&#8217;s wordings is as follows:</p>
</div><div class="fusion-reading-box-container reading-box-container-2" style="--awb-title-color:#18b38c;--awb-margin-top:0px;--awb-margin-bottom:20px;"><div class="reading-box" style="background-color:#f6f6f6;border-width:1px;border-color:#f6f6f6;border-left-width:3px;border-left-color:var(--primary_color);border-style:solid;"><div class="reading-box-additional">
<p>You do not have to say anything. But it may harm your defence if you do not mention when questioned something which you later rely on in Court. Anything you do say may be given in evidence.</p>
</div><div class="fusion-clearfix"></div></div></div><div class="fusion-text fusion-text-10"><p>If a suspect is being interviewed as a volunteer, if they decide to leave their “voluntary” interview, they will most likely be arrested in order for their questioning to continue.</p>
<p>Being arrested does carry some significant impacts, most notably in terms of any long-term consequences, the police will usually create an arrest record which will be logged onto the <a href="https://policecautions.uk/2019/01/26/what-is-the-police-national-computer-pnc/">Police National Computer (PNC)</a>. A PNC record can be disclosed on an <a href="https://policecautions.uk/enhanced-dbs/">enhanced DBS certificate</a>.</p>

Typically they will be issued for low level offending such as assault, minor drugs cases, shoplifting, minor public order offences, and low-level harassment cases.</p>
<p>A police caution will be retained on the PNC for 100 years, unless it is deleted, and can be disclosed in relation to <a href="https://policecautions.uk/dbs-appeal/">certain background checks</a>.</p>
<p>Along with the simple adult police caution, there are also conditional cautions, which attach conditions to the caution, such as paying a fine or making an apology. There are also youth cautions and youth conditional cautions for offenders under the age of 18.</p>

<p>There are certain categories of police disposals and convictions that will automatically be disclosed on a standard and enhanced DBS certificate.</p>
<p>Along with disclosing information according to defined categories, an Enhanced DBS Certificate can also include information on the basis of the police&#8217;s opinion as to its relevance, and whether it ought to be included on a certificate.</p>
<p>Before an enhanced DBS certificate can be issued, it must also be show that questions being asked about a person&#8217;s criminal record are for a &#8220;prescribed purpose&#8221;. Prescribed purposes are broadly speaking working with children and vulnerable adults, as well as other specific areas such as becoming a Commissioner for the Gambling Commission, or holding a license to produce controlled drugs under Regulation 5 of the Misuse of Drugs Regulations.</p>
<p><em><strong><a href="https://policecautions.uk/2019/01/31/what-is-the-impact-of-the-2019-supreme-court-decision-on-disclosure-of-youth-cautions-warnings-and-reprimands-and-also-adult-cautions/">NB: November 2020 edit</a>: </strong></em>Youth cautions, warnings and reprimands are immediately  &#8220;protected&#8221; subsequent to changes implemented by the government. This means that even for offences that appear on the DBS list of unfilterable offences, they will not be automatically be disclosed on an enhanced and standard DBS check. It should be noted however despite the changes, it is still possible for facts related to youth cautions, warnings or reprimands to still be disclosed on an enhanced DBS certificate if the police feel the information is &#8220;relevant&#8221;. </p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Disclosure of Relevant Information on an Enhanced DBS Certificate</h2>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The issue as to what information might be relevant to be disclosed on an enhanced<a href="https://www.supremecourt.uk/cases/docs/uksc-2016-0144-judgment.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> DBS certificate came under renewed scrutiny by the Supreme Court in 2018.</a></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The appellant in the case had been acquitted of rape, he was a qualified teacher, but was working at the time as a taxi driver. It had been alleged that he had raped a 17-year-old woman, who was a passenger in a taxi driven by him. His defence was that there had never been sexual contact with the alleged victim.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Following his acquittal, he applied for an enhanced DBS certificate in connection with an application for a job as a lecturer. The <a href="https://policecautions.uk/2025/03/26/deletion-of-arrest-records-for-rape-allegations/">rape allegation</a> and prosecution was disclosed on his enhanced DBS check as being relevant information to his job application.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The appellant appealed the disclosure of his rape acquittal &#8211; the appellant argued that his acquittal had proved his innocence:</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<blockquote class="wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow">
<p>It is wrong, unfair and grossly prejudicial [that] I should have to defend myself every time I apply for employment after the jury have ruled I am an innocent man.</p>
<p><cite>(Para 9 of Judgement)</cite></p></blockquote>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>On appeal the police stated that they did not feel that his acquittal had amounted to proving his innocence, but only showed that the allegation could not be proven beyond a reasonable doubt:</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<blockquote class="wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow">
<p>Although the applicant was found not guilty by the jury, the test for criminal conviction is beyond all reasonable doubt, which is higher than that required for CRB disclosure purposes. Therefore the applicant&#8217;s acquittal does not prove that he was innocent, or even that the jury thought he was innocent, just that he could not be proved guilty beyond all reasonable doubt …</p>
<p><cite>Para 12 of Judgement</cite></p></blockquote>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The police concluded that they felt that the test for disclosure of relevant information was that it needed to be more likely to be true than not, which is effectively the civil standard of proof:</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<blockquote class="wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow">
<p>the legislation and guidance is clear that allegations that might not be true can be disclosed&#8230; I believe that the information is more likely to be true than false and is not lacking in substance, and it is reasonable to believe that the information might be true, and therefore it passes the required test</p>
<p><cite>Para 12 of Judgement</cite></p></blockquote>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>After deciding that the acquittal was relevant information, the police also concluded that it was reasonable and proportionate to disclose it.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>On appeal to the Supreme Court it was contested that it was a breach of the appellant&#8217;s right to a private life for his acquittal to be disclosed on his enhanced DBS check.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The Court did not agree with the appellant and stated that it was lawful to disclose non-conviction information. The Court stated that the police did not need to undertake a detailed assessment of evidence to the civil standard of proof. The court indicated that where there was evidence that tended to confirm innocence, then it might be inappropriate to disclose. The Court stated as follows:</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<blockquote class="wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow">
<p>68. While I do not question the actual decision in that case, I cannot accept that, as a matter of domestic law or under article 8 , it is necessary or appropriate for those responsible for an ECRC to conduct a &#8220;detailed analysis&#8221; of the evidence at the trial, such as envisaged by Coulson J. That is the task of the judge and jury, who have the advantage of seeing and hearing the witnesses. Whether or not it would be compatible with article 6.2 for the chief officer to express a view on the merits of the case following an acquittal, it is not the proper function of an officer to attempt to replicate the role of the court, or (in Ms Richards&#8217; words) to conduct a &#8220;mini-trial&#8221;. Nor can that be read into the language of the statute. His task under section 113B is to identify and disclose relevant &#8220;information&#8221;, not to make a separate assessment of the evidence at trial. As Mr Moffett&#8217;s examples show (para 52 above), additional information may in some cases be available about the circumstances of the acquittal, including possibly the court&#8217;s own statements about it, which may give reasons for treating the court&#8217;s disposal as less than decisive. By contrast in the case considered by Wyn Williams J (para 36 above) the available information should have been taken as a positive indication of innocence. However, in the absence of information of that kind, it is not the officers&#8217; job to fill the gap. To the extent that Ms Wilson in the present case saw it as part of her task to assess whether, in the light of the evidence at trial, the allegation was &#8220;more likely to be true than false&#8221;, she was in error.<br />69. The judge did not make the same error. He went no further than to accept, as he was entitled to do, the Chief Constable&#8217;s view that the information was &#8220;not lacking substance&#8221; and that the allegations &#8220;might be true&#8221;. However, that in itself did not mean that disclosure was disproportionate. It was a matter for him to assess whether the information, albeit in the limited form contained in the ECRC, was of sufficient weight in the article 8 balance.</p>
<p><cite>Paras 68/69 of Judgement</cite></p></blockquote>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>In a postscript to the case the Court confirmed that non-conviction information could be disclosed on an enhanced DBS checks, including acquittals:</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<blockquote class="wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow">
<p>74 Given that Parliament has clearly authorised the inclusion in ECRCs of &#8220;soft&#8221; information, including disputed allegations, there may be no logical reason to exclude information about serious allegations of criminal conduct, merely because a prosecution has not been pursued or has failed. In principle, even acquittal by a criminal court following a full trial can be said to imply no more than that the charge has not been proved beyond reasonable doubt. In principle, it leaves open the possibility that the allegation was true, and the risks associated with that.</p>
<p><cite>Para 74 of Judgement<br /></cite></p></blockquote>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The Court did however also indicate that there was a lack of guidance for employers as to how to deal with, and interpret, acquittals disclosed on <a href="https://policecautions.uk/2019/11/03/can-you-appeal-a-dbs-check/">Enhanced DBS checks</a>. As a result of this indication new guidelines for employers may be drawn up.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">DBS Defence Solicitors</h2>

<p>If you have received an enhanced DBS certificate and it has disclosed information that you dispute or that you feel is unfair, <a href="https://www.policecautions.uk/contact/">please get in touch</a>.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The police force concerned had rejected his applications for deletion, stating to him that they believed they had issued the caution in a lawful manner and that they intended on retaining his caution for 100 years, in accordance with current NPCC policy.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>On review of the police&#8217;s evidence we were able to determine that the caution had in fact been issued unlawfully, and promptly set out our application to the police for deletion of the caution.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The client had been the victim of incessant and prolonged antisocial behaviour outside his home, and had taken reasonable actions to defend himself. The police however were very quick to point the finger of blame at the client despite him suffering many years of abuse from local youths in the area, his neighbour having been violently assaulted on a previous occasion.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Within a relatively short period of time the police responded agreeing to a complete expungement of the client&#8217;s PNC record &#8211; namely he was entirely removed from the Police National Computer. This means that if a background check were ever to be undertaken on him, the system would return a &#8220;no trace&#8221; record.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>After many years of suffering with the injustice of the caution the client was finally able to move on from the incident.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Deletion of Police Cautions</h2>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>If you have been unfairly issued a police caution then please get in touch. It is not uncommon for the police to issue cautions unfairly, and sometimes the alleged victim in the case is in fact the real perpetrator.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>If you were told when you accepted a caution that it was just a slap on the wrists, or that it would have no long-term impact on your future, then there may be an argument to say that the caution was issued unfairly.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>You may feel that the police have rushed your case so that you could not properly reflect upon the implications of the caution, and you accepted the caution just to escape the confines of the police station.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>If you have never been arrested before, being detained in a police cell will be a frightening and unpleasant experience; and this often contributes to people making a rushed decision to accept a police caution, particularly as the police will often threaten a detainee with going to court if a caution is not accepted.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>It is not the case that all police cautions can be expunged, and very often they will have been administered correctly, however if you feel that you are innocent of the allegation against you and the caution was pressed onto you in unfair circumstances, then please get in touch.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>We have successfully applied for the removal of many police cautions with respect to police forces across England and Wales.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Often our clients are successful professionals who are frequently located abroad, in such circumstances we are easily able to manage a client&#8217;s case remotely without the need for the client to return to the UK.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Police Cautions and Foreign Travel</h2>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>If you have received a police caution you may now be aware that it may limit your ability to travel abroad.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>If you plan to settle abroad you will most often require a &#8220;police certificate&#8221; which is issued by ACRO.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>If you have received a police caution then it will be disclosed on a police certificate for between 5 and 10 years, depending on the offence. After this period of time a police certificate will state &#8220;no live trace&#8221;.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>A no live trace indication on a police certificate will tell any foreign nation that you have previously been cautioned or convicted for a criminal offence.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Disclosure and Barring Service</h2>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Along with applying for the deletion of police records we also have extensive experience of challenging unfairly disclosed information on DBS certificates, challenging applications to bar, and also appealing existing barring decisions.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>If you have any issues with the DBS please get in touch to arrange an initial consultation. We charge a fixed fee for an initial consultation, during the consultation we will be able to advise you on your prospects of success. If you believe your case is weak, we will tell you frankly to avoid you incurring any further costs.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>If we believe you have a case to argue, we are usually able to charge fixed fees.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>We always aim to settle police caution cases and DBS appeals without the need for court, however if court proceedings are required we will be able to offer you reasonable hourly rates, which are often recoverable in the case of success.</p>

<p>Many of our clients talk about the huge weight that is lifted from them when their police caution is deleted; we know the burden that a police record can give people, and so we always work hard to expunge a police caution.</p>
<p>We will scrutinise the evidence in your case to try and find a technical error in the police&#8217;s procedure. The law surrounding the issuing of a police caution has developed over a number of years, and has changed a number of times. As a result there is often confusion by the police as to the correct procedure, or simply pressure to resolve cases quickly, which can lead to mistakes. If you feel a mistake has been made in your case, then please get in touch.</p>

<p>The client had been placed on the barred list under the former Department of Education and Skills (DfES) list 99 procedure.</p>
<p>The client had never been convicted of any criminal offence, but was simply the subject of a spurious allegation from over 15 years previously.</p>
<p>The government has significant powers to disclose information, and take barring decisions about individuals, even where no actual criminal conviction has taken place.</p>
<p>If the DBS believe that an allegation made against you is more likely to be true than not, and if it is necessary and proportionate to do so in their view, you will be placed on either the children or adults, or both, barred lists.</p>
</div><div class="fusion-title title fusion-title-14 fusion-title-text fusion-title-size-two"><h2 class="fusion-title-heading title-heading-left" style="margin:0;">DBS Barred Lists Solicitors</h2><span class="awb-title-spacer"></span><div class="title-sep-container"><div class="title-sep sep-double sep-solid" style="border-color:#e0dede;"></div></div></div><div class="fusion-text fusion-text-23"><p>Our client had lived for many years under the shadow of the allegation, and the fear that he would be arrested again for a perceived infraction of the barring requirements. Eventually the fear outweighed his concern, and he approached us to try to have himself removed from the list.</p>
<p>After obtaining the file of evidence from various sources, we were able to identify some serious defects in the way the original barring decision had been made. We also argued that continuing to bar our client was disproportionate, unnecessary, and plainly unfair.</p>
<p>We managed to persuade the DBS, within a relatively short period of time, that the client ought to be removed from the children’s bared list.</p>

<p>Even if an accused is removed from the barred list, the police may still disclose information on an enhanced DBS certificate, which can jeopardise an employment opportunity.</p>
<p>We have had significant success in <a href="https://www.policecautions.uk/category/caution-removals/">expunging police records, including police cautions.</a></p>
<p>Along with applying for the expungement of police records, we also have significant success in appealing <a href="https://www.policecautions.uk/enhanced-dbs/">disclosures of information on enhanced DBS checks</a>.</p>

<p>The DBS had commenced an investigation into whether to bar our client. They had taken an initial view that it may be appropriate to place the client on the barred list.</p>
<p>The DBS barring investigation had been instigated when the client had applied for a DBS check, which disclosed a caution for a sexual offence some years before.</p>
<p>Once the DBS had been notified of the caution, their investigators decided to commence their barring process.</p>
</div><div class="fusion-title title fusion-title-17 fusion-title-text fusion-title-size-two"><h2 class="fusion-title-heading title-heading-left" style="margin:0;">DBS Barring Appeal Solicitors</h2><span class="awb-title-spacer"></span><div class="title-sep-container"><div class="title-sep sep-double sep-solid" style="border-color:#e0dede;"></div></div></div><div class="fusion-text fusion-text-27"><p>Once instructed, we gathered together all the relevant evidence in the case from a variety of sources.</p>
<p>We instructed an expert witness to provide a report on our client, looking at relevant factors which would be taken into consideration by the DBS in making their decision.</p>
<p>Although the original allegation had been some time ago, we were able to piece together the file, which showed the allegation in its true context, rather than the highly prejudicial manner in which it was presented by the police.</p>

<p>Within 8 weeks, the DBS notified us that they would not be barring the client.</p>

<p>We are also frequently instructed to apply for the expungement (deletion) of police issued criminal records, such as police cautions, PNDs, cannabis warnings and arrest records.</p>
<p>We have had <a href="https://www.policecautions.uk/category/caution-removals/">many police cautions expunged</a> from the Police National Computer (PNC) along with bio-metric data (fingerprints and DNA) and arrest records.</p>

<p>After reviewing the file, we were able to identify flaws in the police’s case that had not previously been raised. After submitting detailed representations to the police, they agreed to expunge the client’s police caution and PNC record, including the client’s biometric data.</p>
