Just to update on this. After much soul searching, I gave my new employer details of the Restorative Justice matter; glad to say they weren't phased by it but I was glad I came clean with it before the disclosure came back. As it turned out, the enhanced disclosure didn't show it; all sections showed 'None Recorded'. Relieved is an understatement. If there's anything I've learned from this (as old as I am) is don't be an idot in the first place to get an RJ. Secondly, if it is likely to raise it's ugly head on a CRB, be upfront and spill the beans. It was humiliating but your new employer will think more of you.

I've phoned my local police station and they tell me I don't need to disclose the matter. Thank you ever so much Brigadier2jcs for your sound advice! Double clicking your star

No, not that I can recall. Both parties had to sign to say we would stay clear of each other when out with our dogs. Would it be appropriate for me to contact CRB?

Can someone tell me please if a restorative justice matter will show up on an enhanced CRB disclosure? I had to write a letter of apology after I was reported to the police for giving a dog owner a piece of my mind, even though it was a result of their dog lunging (barking and snarling) on it's lead at me and my dog, scaring the living daylights out of me. I had to go to the police station to discuss the incident as the dog owner had felt threatened by me. I wasn't charged but was told it would lay on my local police file. I'm about to fill out a disclosure for an enhanced CRB for a new job (but with the same employer). As well as the CRB, I have to complete a declaration form which includes answering Yes or No to the following statement to which I think the restorative justice matter might be relevant: "do you know of any other matters in your background which might cause your reliability or suitability for employment to be called into question?" Should I answer 'Yes' and provide the details, or not? I hope someone can advise. Thanks. Northern Lassie
