My offence was attempted sexual communication with a child. Received 2 year community order and 5 year SOR and SHPO.

Community order ended. Programme completed and 11 months left on SOR and SHPO.

They don’t make it easy either as I have to provide details of 2 people that can provide a character reference, they are allowed to be friends but not family and have to have known me for min of 3 years.

That’s made hard by the fact I have no friends and because I’m in a reasonably new area I haven’t know. Other people for 3 years.

I can see this getting messy.

Interviewed for a 12 month fixed term disputes decision maker role. Passed the interview and received provisional offer this morning. Now have to go through baseline vetting so a check of unspent convictions. Mine is for a SO. I did enquire to start with and they said each case would be assessed individually, although not sure how it works and whether I will get the chance to discuss with them. Sorting of hoping they may give me a chance and other part of me is thinking will they overlook me.

Hi Mark,

Though you don't mention the offence details in your post; not that you have to, I hope they do give you a chance.
You may find; as I have done, their concern is what will happen if other employees or clients discover your past.

Always remember though, no matter what they say you are an "EX-SO" so believe in yourself.

Society suggests I must let go of all my expectations but I disagree, as whilst I have a voice, I have hope.

Learn from yesterday, live for today, hope is for tomorrow else what is left if you remove a mans hope.
