My son who was not living with me and is still not living with me was convicted of having indocent images of children on his device in 2023. He got a 24 month suspended sentance and put on a sohp for 10 years. Altho I have mixed feelings of how his case was handled, thats a different matter. My problem is I work in a school kitchen and worked for the company for 5 years so had my enhanced DBS done in 2018 which showed nothing on it. I left the company as i thought i found a better job, but that turned out to be rubbish. I went back to my school kitchen job but had to go back as a new starter even tho it was only 3 week i had left for which was fine, only problem is i had a new enhanced DBS done. This one came back with my son's record on it. I would not have a problem if it just said about his sohp as I had informed my manager about it when she asked if there was something she should know as on her system it said check certificate. What i don't like is how it says "he could gain access to children due to my position of trust". This has made me feel rubbish putting it nicely. I would never do anything like that. I now have mixed emotions on everything. My manager has said they can do a risk assessment on me so I can continue my work, but how is that right, it makes me feel guilty as if i have done something wrong when infact i haven't.
Hi,
Is your address on your sons list of places he may spend over 7 days at over a year? I'm baffled by the fact that he doesn't live with you and it has still come up?
Is there any way you can appeal it?
Unfortunately the wording of it is pretty standard from what I've seen on here. It's a reflection of how society views these crimes and the massive leaps they dream up in their heads. Hopefully someone who has disputed a dbs will come back with some clarity on how to move forward.
In terms of a risk assessment at work perhaps just stating that he won't come by the school should be enough. You don't have access to children's personal records in your role anyway so again no danger of information been found out by your son. If there are any access codes to enter the school grounds then storing them in a password protected folder in your phone.
You haven't done anything wrong and I'm sorry that you've been treated in this way xxx

I am sorry that you find yourself in this position. Have you tried to contact UNLOCK? I think this charity may be able to help you to appeal or challenge what is on your DBS. If you son does not live with you I didn't think it could be put on your DBS and UNLOCK would be able to give you correct up to date information and advice.
Thinking of you and your son.
