Hi guys,
Can anyone help me with this question, i'm really worried about it.
I am interested in applying for the postgrad in primary teaching in September 2009.
I was convicted for 'Drunk and disorderly' in 1996 (12 years ago) when I was 18 years of age (stupid) and bond over for a year.
Is this conviction going stop me from gaining a place on the course?
I have to get an advanced criminal records check. I know the conviction is spent but will it still show up on the criminal records report.
If you can provide me with any information, I would be very grateful.

But then again i know nothing about this sorta thing.
If the sentence is more that 2.5 years in prison the conviction never becomes ‘spent’. It is the sentence imposed by the courts that counts, even if it is a suspended sentence, not the time actually spent in prison.
Once a conviction is ‘spent’, the convicted person does not have to reveal it or admit its existence in most circumstances. However, there are some exceptions relating to employment and these are listed in the Exceptions order to the ROA. The two main exceptions relate to working with children or working with the elderly or sick people. If a person wants to apply for a position that involves working with children or working with the elderly or sick people they are required to reveal all convictions, both spent and unspent.
