Caution
I have a caution from 2003 for a public order act which I got from an Anti War protest for the following reason:
OFFENCE: USING THREATENING, ABUSIVE, INSULTING WORDS OR BEHAVIOUR W/I TO CAUSE FEAR OR PROVOCATION OF VIOLENCE ON MARCH 2003
PUBLIC ORDER ACT 1986 S4 (1) (A)
I was at an anti war protest organised by stop the war coalition, which I was not a member of. The protest was halted by the police so I decided to go home but I broke the police line and was arrested by the Police and then released. I attended court many times to plead my innocence but the court kept on adjourning the hearing. I was missing my project management University class every Monday morning. Frustrated, I decided to plead guilty as I was told by my Solicitors that I would get a caution and the caution would be cleared after two years of the offence.
I have now qualified as a Secondary School Teacher but I have now discovered that the caution still remains and comes up on my CRB. I am finding it very difficult to get a job because Head Teachers do not wan an employee with a criminal record. I spoke with the CRB team and they told me that this is a small offence and should not be a problem when working in Schools but Schools of course won’t take that in.
Apart from this incident I have never been in trouble with the police and this was an unfortunate incident and situation. I am not a violent or vicious person, in fact very friendly and warm. If I knew it would appear on my CRB and it would not clear after two years I would have tried my best to clear my name as I did not do any of the actions or say the words stated on the offence above. I am in a terrible situation as I worked really hard to pass my Teacher training. I am wondering if there is anyway to fight the record so it can be cleared. I would be very grateful if someone could please help or guide me in the right direction.
