Hi
I've been wondering what to write for a while now, but I think the time is right. 
I got the knock in June last year and I have my first court appearance at the end of this month. My solicitor has said that after that hearing I will need to sign on to the register.
My question is this, what should I do about my work. I am currently employed but do I tell my employer after this hearing, so I wait until after my sentence or do I not say anything and hope it doesn't come to light?

Thank you for reading and I hope to hear from some of you soon.

It was quite a while ago for me, but when I was convicted the police told me I had to tell my employers or they would (even though the job I was in the product/service could only be given to adults and the company could only employ adults).

I was lucky nothing ever got promoted but I would have lost my job. I just told the police that I had informed my employers and hoped they would be too lazy to check. Luckily for me they were too lazy to check.

in my case (a while ago too) on my first home visit (few days after the sentence), they said to me that I didn't need to tell my employer. I never felt more relieved. Also, they never checked my devices

Luckily I managed to get my indefinite Sopo removed 9 years ago next week. Before then they did all they could to trip me up, including costing me a different job and I believe trying to arrest me for something (I don't know what) made up an hour or so after my Sopo was removed by the judge.

They didn't as I was on my way to the airport. But I don't think they ever really want rehabilitation, just to keep you in a box.
