Hi,

OP was convicted but no contact prohibitions were issued. We have since received DBS 'intention to bar' letter and I presume this will be an inevitable bar but am trying my luck here and would welcome any recommendations for lawyer or how to approach the appropriateness challenge in representations.

Much love x
