Filtering rules for criminal record check certificates
For those 18 or over at the time of the offence:
An adult conviction will be removed from a DBS criminal record certificate if:
- • 11 years have elapsed since the date of conviction; and
- • it is the person's only offence, and
- • it did not result in a custodial sentence.
Even then, it will only be removed if it does not appear on the list of offences relevant to safeguarding. If a person has more than one offence, then details of all their convictions will always be included.
An adult caution will be removed after 6 years have elapsed since the date of the caution - and if it does not appear on the list of offences relevant to safeguarding.
For those under 18 at the time of the offence:
An adult conviction will be removed from a DBS criminal record certificate if:
- • The same rules apply as for adult convictions, except that the elapsed time period is 5.5 years
- • The same rules apply as for adult cautions, except that the elapsed time period is 2 years.
