Remove multiple minor convictions from DBS from over 10 years ago

Petition Details

If someone has more than one minor offence from over 10 years ago, they still appear on the DBS Disclosure and Barring Service. People are refused jobs as a result, even though there’s nothing serious on there. This means that they unfairly continue to suffer for stupid mistakes made when young.

Additional Information

There should be an order so that multiple convictions can be removed after 10 years. The major ones should stay on for life, for example, if anyone is on the sex register, someone who has been and are still in prison etc.

Convictions staying on of you have more than one is crazy when it’s been over 10 years.
