3 years since my NFA and life is moving on
Promotion at work has required a unexpected DBS check (I don't work with children or vulnerable adults) it will come back with my arrest.
The police know she lied to the extent that she was arrested but not charged for PCJ.
The detail is simple and factual, yes I was arrested on xyz date and investigated with NFA.
But the DBS means its likely I will loose not only the promotion but my current job too.
I have only ever been asked if I have been 'charged or convicted' of any offence, so have always answered truthfully on any paperwork.
However DBS have a box ticked that says I am a risk of being a violent sexual preditor.
Currently my assessment is that I'm f**ked on this one I cant see my boss being understanding,
IF she sacks me on the spot I'm sure I would win tribunal but that would not give me my job,
If she doesn't, working with her will be 'difficult',
Most likely outcome will be suspension while they think about it.
Considering getting the solicitor who worked on the case to write a letter to go with the DBS and buy some time to see what happens and if I need move on.
Anyone been in similar circumstances, what happened?
Any advice?
