Great timing for this thread, I recently went for promotion and had to give auth to have a standard disclosure done. I was panicking, me doing a piss in an alley and a sharp eyed policeman catching me resulting in a£40 fine which I paid the next day would show up on a disclosure.
As for the travelling abroad thing, I have been to OZ, Canada and USA in 2006 with a criminal record and it never affected me.
My crimes are spent now but as its immigration I would imagine they do an enhanced search which shows everything.
I think they do random checks if you have to apply in advance for your visa.
My advice dont let it stop you going, chances are really low of being caught.

^^ Enhanced or not it should not show up "Spent" convictions / if anything it shows up as spent. Usually the rule and its very broad is if the fine is £80 its going on a criminal record, out else £30, £40, i think there is a £50 you are A'OK they will be recorded as a crime but not give you a criminal record (or a PNC profile) Crime recording is a different system to PNC

I have met loads of people thru work who have failed to get jobs because they failed the enhanced disclosure, one even with convictions from 24 years ago.Last edited by Unwell Cat; 28-03-2009, 07:05.

Anyone who deals with vunerable groups thru work i.e bus driver, taxi driver for school contracts etc
Any type of social work, police work, community support, youth development officer etc etc.
The law has been tightend up considerably in the last 10 years, quite right so but it has went a bit overkill.
