Do Reprimands Get Wiped?

Do Reprimands Get Wiped?

Reprimands, final warnings and youth cautions (including conditional cautions) received when under the age of 18 will be removed from standard and enhanced checks immediately, regardless of the offence. This means that even if your caution was for a specified offence it would still be removed.

Does a reprimand stay on my record?

Most adult cautions become protected, or “filtered”, after six years (2 years for youth warnings and reprimands) and will not automatically appear on a standard or enhanced DBS.

Does your police record get wiped?

Although convictions and cautions stay on the Police National Computer until you reach 100 years old (they are not deleted before then), they don't always have to be disclosed. Many people don't know the details of their record and it's important to get this right before disclosing to employers.
