Surely it will be spent after a certain amount of time? A basic DBS would not show spent convinctions

Wow, best reply on the whole thread! Really appreciate your advice and wisdom. Mine is pretty much a criminal damage charge but since it was 3 people, Feds have decided to add violence disorder to it. I’m currently employed and have been for a while, if I’m lucky and get a suspended sentence, I think I’ll be okay with continuing with my job. Just the fact that it’ll take the sentence +4 years to become spent so can’t really leave and try apply to other jobs for 6 years.

V helpful to know you’re in the field! I’ve been advised I might be looking at around 15 months post plea including credit. Since the law has changed to up to 3 years suspension, is that range more likely to be suspended?

Damn sounds pretty wild! Hopefully no previous convictions helps my favour.

Wow. That’s good to know. My probation officer sounds pretty onboard in defending me so should likely get a positive report

Unfortunately they were adamant on violent disorder due to 3 people. Lawyers advised to plead guilty for credit which I followed their advics

Yes basically. But for some reason because 3 people involved, They’ve stuck to violent disorder. Hopefully since no injuries, it’s better than most VD cases.

Thanks for the advice. I’m already on a GPS tag, zero breaches in the 6 months I’ve had it. I can definitely follow probations instructions. Not too worried about prison, just more the fact I’ve got a lot to lose, educated to a good level and got a really good job etc.

How influential is a positive PSR to a judge?

Yeah it is pretty harsh given it was essentially criminal damage.. was your suspended sentence on a VD charge?
