Really? Do I take it with me or send it in advance? What kind of letter? An apology?
I wrote this for you a week or so ago and also you were given advice by others on here about solicitors etc .Really? Do I take it with me or send it in advance? What kind of letter? An apology?
Did you actually get any legal advice
Did you tell your employer ?
There’s no point asking people to help and then not being proactive and helping yourself . Then coming on here asking the same questions again having done nothing.
Sorry to be blunt but it’s how you come across .
…………………………………………………..
I can see your anxiety is through the roof and understandably so . Your trail of thought is going out of control .
As some one with pretty major mental health problems myself I was exactly the same .
No body here can answer the question on your career. My advice would be speak to your head or deputy head or who ever is designated. Be open , sincere and honest with them as to what’s happening. If you do this then they will respect you and help you if they value you as an employee. That is one massive part dealt with. .
As for legal advice then you will be open to being ripped off by solicitors etc it’s par for the course . As a few have said I’d contact the courts and see who they have on the day etc . Or as I have done just use the duty solicitor on the day . I would recommend doing a pre prepared statement for the solicitor to hand to the magistrate.
If your supervisor at work knows in advance then a statement or character ref from them will go along way . You are now in a damage limitation process and so as such need to build a defence based on your previous good character and your career and life etc .
I take it this is your first offence and are of previous good character etc etc . You are In a high pressure job and have as we all have been through a very trying time in recent times with the covid situation.
Are you on medication and under a doctor for mental health problems or is that a wild card you hoped to throw in as means to get off the charge . If so it’s a crap card to play as it will definitely hinder you as far as the return of your licence .. trust me I’m very experienced in that field .
Today or as soon as possible speak to your colleague and get this out and dealt with . It’s hard and awkward but we are all human and prone to mistakes .
Try to think rationally please.. and get back to us should you need any further advice .
People in here are firm but fair so DO NOT TAKE ANY COMMENTS PERSONALLY..
Take care and please stay strong
