does a probation officer have to declare any cautions they received for harrassment. my friends boyfriend received a caution for such because he was verbally attacking his ex girlfriend, he was bagging on her windows and shouting obscenities at her so the girlfriend called the police and they cautioned him under the 1986 harrasment act. this happened whilst he was employed (and still is) by the probation service, but he has not told them. according to the probation website they do no employ people who have been involved in domestic violence, so he is frightened of telling them in case he looses his job. could they ever find out?
If he has only been cautioned then he does'nt need to say any thing and if he is alreday in a job he still does,nt need tosay any thing. to be honest with you a caution is is telling off that stays on your records for a while. There is no need to tell any one unless he really has to.
Eithel your very crafty and very nasty. instead of answering the question why have you gone around in circles wasting time: and time is money remember.
The Protection from Harassment Act 1997 provides two sections under which harassment prosecutions are usually brought.
Offences under the less serious section 2 (Conduct causing harassment) are �summary� offences and can only be dealt with at the magistrates court. As such there is an absolute time limit of 6 months (from the date of the alleged offence) for the prosecution to lay the information before the Court. After 6 months and the prosecution cannot go ahead
