Thread: Anyone know how long an offence stays on an enhanced DBS check?

  1. #1

    Anyone know how long an offence stays on an enhanced DBS check?

    I've been asked by a close family friend if I know how long the offence of being convicted of benefit fraud stays on your criminal record for?
    It happened in 2012 and she was convicted of obtaining money by false representation. (without dishonesty)
    (Benefit fraud)
    Penalties
    £100 Court cost
    160 hours community service
    Repayment of all moneys
    Feb 2012

    She has applied for a good job in NHS and has declared this to interviewer but will the DBS show it up after all this time?

    Yes as far as I can see here

    There's an example as well

    Sasha - convicted of 4 counts of benefit fraud as an adult

    Sasha was convicted of 4 counts of benefit fraud in May 2012, when she was 31. Under the new rules, these will be removed from standard or enhanced DBS checks in May 2023, 11 years after Sasha was convicted as an adult.

    She’ll be fine - 2012 it’s spent and won’t be held against her. Hope she gets the position.

    shouldn't really matter as she has declared it, so the NHS know the score

    All the offences stay on the DBS return.

    They just don't count under the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act so she has nothing to worry about.
