about 12 years ago i got a conviction for common assault, i have literally put my life on hold and not applied for any new job since due to worrying that it would show up on a dbs and having to explain it, i have read after 11 years it may get wiped, i was wondering how i can go about finding out if it has been wiped or would it depend on the job? i would like a job in the nhs but i am not sure if it would be cleared on a standard or enhanced check?

From what i have read it states that after 11 years, single conviction that didn't go to prison for common assault can be filtered. it then says if it was violent it will not be filtered.

My conviction was for hitting someone, it was literally a push that resulted in them hurting themselves.

Am i to assume this wouldn't be filtered because there is an aspect of violence to it?

Regards

Dave
