police caution

[marfanman]

a friend is employed by health and works with children. last year he had a drunken brawl in the street which resulted in a caution.is he obliged to let his employer know? also he is being investigated for a poor practise at work and during the management investigation they found out about the brawl/caution! can they use it against him

Come on... be honest !!!

Was it really your "friend" or was it YOU who was involved in the fracas ? Most postings on this Site purport to emanate from a "friend" but hardly ever the person in the first degree. However, if it really was a friend and you were not an eye-witness to the fracas (drunken brawl, as you call it) then your evidence is based purely on hearsay and speculation and is not worthy of an answer.

Nobody is ever obliged to tell their employer about any convictions or cautions unless their contract (or a professional code of conduct imposed by a statutory regulatory body) says that must do so. However, many jobs involving contact with children or vulnerable adults do have such a condition in the contract.

An employee can't be disciplined or dismissed for an incident that happened outside of work, unless that action leads to a 'loss of trust' in the employee's ability to continue in their present post. (For example, if a teacher appeared in court for beating up his wife, the school's governors could legitimately sack him, because many parents might refuse to allow their children to attend his lessons. However, it might be harder for the governors to establish a 'loss of trust' if the teacher was before the court for a minor motoring offence).

May I assume, Marfanman, that your post is directed solely at Voltr4m4x?

It seems to have escaped your notice that I tried to provide you with the type of answer which you should have every right to expect when using this site.
