Thanks for your kind words of reassurance, youre right it was a conditional discharge which in fact meant it was 'spent' after the year. However, because I am a teacher it does come up on enhanced police records and I must admit even now after 11 years it winds me up! However, if I was ever any threat I wouldnt be allowed to teach children. I think I will leave it and deal with it when they contact me.
