I have a convictiion on my enhanced disclosure dating from March 1962, I was born in October 1947 so I was 14 years 5 months old. I spoke to a woman at the council and she says she cannot understand why this is on my disclosure form, it is for lewd and libidioous practices, (I was caught stealing and wearing ladies clothing) The lady at the council claims that offences committed whilst under the age of 16 should not be included, could anybody advise me whether this is true in Scotland. I also have an item from 1971 but I do not recognise it and wondered how I can get this checked out as it was in Wales?
You need to reaise these issues with the Criminal Records Bureau (who will have got things wrong in the past). By the way, what sort of job was this in respect of, ie. why were the Council involved?
