Hi

My son finishes hi 2 years suspended sentence in July

Does he still have to inform car insurance, he has had criminal record

And does he have to inform new employees

As he really struggling to find a job

Or is it still not spent

He finished his probation, he getting no advice from anyone

Which is effecting is mental health

Does he have a SHPO? If he does the conviction becomes spent once that finished. If not it depneds on what the custodial length was for the two years.

I'm sorry to know your son is struggling. He would only need to inform potential employers of his conviction if they ask.

I'm afraid that if his SHPO is for 10 years, his sentence won't be spent until that time is up. In other words, if basic DBS clearance is needed, his conviction will show for the 10 year period. But do remember that he does not need to disclose unless he is asked.

He will still need to declare an unspent conviction for car insurance etc.
