Simple Caution

[phleb]

If you had a simple caution 2 years ago by the police, will it show up on a crb check done by the NHS when applying for admin jobs? Thanks

Depends on the type of DBS check (haven't been called CRB checks for some time).
Basic DBS only shows unspent cautions and convictions; a standard DBS details spent as well as unspent cautions - unless they are 'filtered cautions' which include cautions issued when you were a minor and convictions for an adult more than 6 years ago.

I thought you had asked this
and the answer is a clear yes for NHS jobs
( but having done interviews) - it is by no means a bar to emplyment
( so long as the interviewee doesnt do the sulky teenager 'it wasnt like that')
but says - yes I have got over that and addressed my behaviour that cause it - a triumph for restorative justive etc

If you're still in any doubt, see here:

(The fact that link is from a mental health charity is irrelevant. I've selected that link, from the many available on the internet, solely as it's one of the simplest to read through).

So it came up and they have told me there is a process they follow. I have explained the situation to HR and now awaiting a decision. This has been the longest 4 weeks of my life. Really want the job. I’ve never broken the law and what I was cautioned for was so petty. I have to wait for her and my new manager to make a decision.

It’s so stressful! I hope they don’t withdraw the job offer.

What was you cautioned for, phleb, and why did you accept it? That is admitting you are guilty of breaking the law.
