Our client had been issued a police caution in relation to a domestic assault allegation. The client was a new resident in the UK, coming over with her family to work in health care.

The caution had been the result of a minor argument that became heated. The police were called and the client was taken away by the police to prevent any further incidents that evening. The client’s husband begged for the police not to arrest his wife, the police however still arrested the client due to their pro-active action policy in cases of domestic assault.

The client who was totally unfamiliar with legal proceedings, was completely shocked to be arrested and detained in a police cell. She was terrified of what the police might do, and how it might effect her work and immigration status. When the police offered her a police caution, she jumped at the chance, not understanding its full implications, simply wanting to leave the police station as fast as possible.

Once she left the police station, and after having time to reflect on her situation, she researched the implications of the caution and was shocked to realise that it would be disclosed on DBS background checks, and would prevent her application for UK citizenship for at least three years.

The client and her husband got in touch with us to  have her caution removed.

We promptly prepared detailed legal representations which persuaded the police to delete the client’s police caution from the PNC.

Now that the client’s caution has been deleted, she has been able to process her application for citizenship and also has a clean DBS certificate.

The client had an argument with his wife, and the police were called by the neighbours. Despite his wife not supporting any action being taken, the police arrested our client and took him to the police station.

On discussing the case with both the client and his wife, we prepared an application for deletion of the caution.

Our client had been issued with Penalty Notice for Disorder (PND) in relation to a shoplifting allegation.

The client had been accused of shoplifting and had been detained by security staff.

When the police arrived, they promptly offered the client a Penalty Notice for Disorder; as the client was fearful of being prosecuted, he accepted the PND.

The client left the PND on his police record for a number of years, believing it would not cause any issues, however as he worked in regulated role, he was required to provide an enhanced DBS check. The PND unfortunately showed up on the enhanced check.

After obtaining the records from the police, we submitted an application for the deletion of the Penalty Notice.
