Good Afternoon all

Here I am once again to vent some frustration over recent events, I was hoping I never had to go down this route but sadly I do not see any other way. I have submitted to Google that I be removed from being searched.

So, what happened?
Since successfully discharging my SHPO earlier this year, there was at least 2 months of wait time before the "mark" was removed from the system as my work coach calls it. enabling him to refer me to various training courses he had access too. Of course we tried to re-apply to a local college for a course I was previously interested in, so far I am still waiting for a response if I can join or not. I applied for a different course myself which boasted the fact they help those with convictions, I was asked if I had any unspent convictions of which I said no, there was a conviction but that is now considered spent. I never spoke of my conviction over the phone. I get a date to go down and check out the place, filled in some paper work, spoke with the lead where he had to ask more confidential questions. Asked if I had any convictions in which I said the same thing, there was but it is now considered spent. He pushed further and wanted me to declare what the conviction was, rather than argue I was hesitant in giving the information but did anyway hoping he would recognize the fact it was spent. I stated I feel given the conviction is now spent, that I was under no obligation to provide such information. But he stated spent or unspent if we ask we are still entitled to that information.

Once the paper work was done, he politely asked me to go home and he would ask around the venue and would call me to let me know if I can join or not. I get a phone call earlier today with the bad news that they reject my application to participate, being rather frustrated I asked if they went through any official channels like MAPPA. He said no but refer to public articles to gather information. I asked for him to clarify on this and he basically admitted that a google search was done. In the end I just ended the call by saying "How is anyone able to get the help they need if they are simply not given the chance to move on?", He just agreed and stated he gets this a lot but just wanted me off the phone it seems. I thanked him for his time and ended the call.

I will await the response from Google

Feedback is always welcome and appreciated
