Hiya.
So this must have been asked a load of times.
When your convictions are spent etc does this mean you come off the SOR register and free again.
Hubby had a good job before and was thinking once his conviction is spent then he could head back into people facing role etc.

No, you will be on the SOR and SHO for the amont of years you get told when convicted. so its ususally 2 years (conviction) 5/7/10 years or lifetime. So ir will always be on an enhanced DBS but after that time doesen't have to be disclosed (unless they ask for spent convictions). That's how i was told anyway.
The conviction is spent once they are no longer subject to SHPO or if they don't have a SHPO it is spent once they reach the end of their community order xx
I used the unlock calculator recently as there have been changes to the law. You enter your details and it tells you when the conviction will be spent.
I was told by unlock that once the shpo has finished then the conviction is spent. They told me after 5 years we can ask for the shpo to end, my oh has a ten year one. If the courts allow this then his conviction will be spent even though the sor will last the ten years ( you cannot request this to be shortened)
You can use the Unlock calculator, but only if you don't have an SHPO. If there is an SHPO then its usually spent when the SHPO finishes.
I might be wrong but I thought it is spent when everything is finished so if say 1 year shpo 5 sor it would be spent once sor as finished
That is not what unlock told me, in your senario it would be spent after 1 year.
The length of time on the SOR is set by the type and length of sentences. It is fixed by law. For example a custodial sentence, even if suspended, of under 6 months means you are on the SOR for 7 years if over 18. A sentence of between 6 and 30 months means 10 years on the register and over 30 months means you have to register indefinitely.
Being on the SOR does not affect the length of time until a sentence is spent BUT a SHPO does. A sentence cannot be spent until any SHPO expires. If there's no SHPO, sentences will be spent in line with the normal ROA calculations but, for example, if a 5 year SHPO exists, the sentence can only be spent when that expires.
In my person's case he got a 10 month sentence suspended for 18 months and a 5 year SHPO. If he didn't have the SHPO, his sentence would be spent 1 year after the 10 months but because of the SHPO it actually won't be spent for 5 years. The length of time he's on the SOR will be 10 years because he had a 'custodial' sentence of more than 6 months.
Hope this helps. The Unlock site has clear guidance and an easy to use calculator but remember to include any SHPO in the calculator. Also remember that the length of time until a sentence is spent is NOT related to the length of time an offender is on the SOR.
