What was your conviction for
Drink drivingWhat was your conviction for
Effing pandemic. My best wishes to all key and necessary workers,
Disclosure. Would welcome some advice pls. Yes 5 years until spent. Am applying to volunteer for CAB and etc. After five years, will I need to state or may I not? PS Live in England
I am in a similar position about to apply for a charity trustee post which needs an enhanced DBS the charity leaders know about my conviction but I have a meeting to see if this will go against me - watch this space
Thank you due to the nature of the charity and professional nature of the work it may be an issue on the professional upstanding element - will let you knowI agree with CJ, the conviction should be of no relevance to the trustee post, and as you have been open about it there will be no problem.
Hobgoblin,
You are correct about the amendments, I saw about the proposal in the summer but didn’t see they had been implemented in November.
However, it only applies to a repeat offence, and says that the “existing timescales will still apply” for single offences, which means that for enhanced DBS checks a drink drive conviction is still disclosable for 11 years.
The MOT offence does not need to be declared anyway, and the drink drive one has long expired so does not have to be declared. You are clean!
