* If the individual has ever received a conviction resulting in imprisonment of longer than
48 months, regardless of the time which has passed since the end of the sentence, they
will always fall within the CAF category.
No sanction
17. If a matter falls within a ‘no sanction’ cell above, the expectation is that the ICC will
not normally make a finding or impose a sanction against the individual. However,
whilst the ICC will not normally look for information about a named individual, they
reserve the right to consider information which is provided to them about the
offence, even if the individual would otherwise fall within the ‘no sanction’ cell.
Refuse
18. If a matter falls within a ‘refuse’ cell above, the expectation is that the ICC will
normally refuse an individual admission or Call or expel a student from the Inn. As
above, the ICC may consider information provided to them which is relevant to the
circumstances, even if the individual would otherwise be refused or expelled.
Imprisonment
19. Where an individual has received a prison sentence, the time since sentencing
restrictions ended will be the number of months or years which have passed from
the release date or licence period (where applicable). It is not from the date when
the individual was sentenced or when the offence, or offences, were committed.
Suspended sentences
20. In the case of suspended sentences, the individual will be deemed to be free of
sentence restrictions when the period of suspension expires. If the custodial
sentence is activated, then it will be considered on the same grounds as any
immediate custodial sentence.
Community disposals
21. In the case of community orders, community disposals and other similar sentences
undertaken in the community, the individual is considered free of sentence
restrictions at the end of the period of the order. If no date is given on the criminal
records check, the individual will be considered free of sentence restrictions 12
months after the date of sentence. If the individual can provide evidence from an
independent, verifiable source that the community disposal was discharged by the
responsible body at an earlier date, the ICC will treat that earlier date as the date
the individual was free from sentence restrictions.
Fines and other disposals
22. For fines, one day detention, cautions, warnings, community resolutions,
absolute/conditional discharges, and admonishments, the individual will be
considered free of sentence restrictions from the day after the sentence or disposal
was imposed.
Ancillary orders imposed by the criminal court
23. In addition to sentence, the criminal courts have the power to impose various other
orders which expire after the sentence that has been passed. These can include,
