Our client had been issued a police caution with respect to an allegation of assault on her child. Her child’s school had picked up the allegation and reported it to the police.

The client was asked to attend the police station as a volunteer, and attended with legal representation. The solicitor advised the client to accept a police caution in order to avoid prosecution.

As the client works in a regulated sector, a caution for assault on a child would of had devastating consequences on her career and it remained in place.

After we were instructed we investigated the police’s case and were able to determine that the caution may have been unfairly issued.

After drafting representations, the police agreed to overturn the caution and expunged the client’s PNC record. Not only was the caution deleted, but also the client’s fingerprints, DNA, and custody image.

Our client had been issued a public order caution, the caution had been originally issued in relation to an alleged disorder at the client’s home.

A neighbour had called the police upon hearing a disturbance at the client’s home. When the police attended, an argument broke out between our client and the police, which resulted in our client’s arrest and detention.

At the police station the officers told the client that if she accepted the caution she would be released and no further action would be taken. She was not advised that the caution would be retained by the police on the PNC until the client reached 100 years of age, and that it will be disclosed on DBS checks.

As the client worked in a regulated sector, the caution did cause difficulties for her professional career.

The client instructed us to apply for the expungement of the caution. After reviewing the papers we advised the client that there was a basis for expungement, and we promptly drafted representations that were submitted to the police.

The police agreed to delete the police caution, the client’s PNC record is now entirely clear, and her biometric data, and custody image are also deleted

Our client had been issued a police caution for the possession of cocaine – it had been issued over a decade ago.

The client wanted to move abroad where having a drugs caution would causes significant difficulties in obtaining a Visa. The caution was being indirectly revealed on an ACRO police certificate.

The client had lived for years worrying about the caution, and avoiding applying for regulated jobs for fear of the caution being disclosed.

We reviewed the evidence in her case and advised that she had a case to apply for the deletion of her police caution from the PNC.

Within a relatively short period of time the police agreed to delete the client’s caution form her record.

Now that the caution is deleted her police caution states “no trace” as opposed to “no live trace”.

Our client was a FCA regulated Manager and he had received a police caution in relation to a domestic common assault allegation.

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.

Despite feeling that he had not committed a criminal offence, the client went along with the duty solicitor’s advice and made an admission to the allegation, and accepted a police caution. The client was worried had he not accepted the caution, he would have been charged and his case would have gone to court, and possibly appeared in the press.

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

Initially the police refused to delete the caution, but after further representations were made, the police finally agreed to delete the client’s caution from the PNC.

The client’s standard DBS certificate is now clear and his name is entirely removed from the PNC and his biometric data is deleted.
