Certificate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>ACRO explains that criminal conviction records are retained on the Law Enforcement Data Service, known as LEDS, until the person is treated as having reached 100 years of age. However, the Step-down Model is applied to Police Certificates so that disclosure is proportionate and necessary for the intended purpose, in line with data protection legislation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Does Step-Down Mean the Record Is Deleted?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>No. Step-down does not mean the record has been deleted from police systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>ACRO explains that when an offence is stepped down, it is not removed from LEDS. It means that the offence may not be disclosed through the ACRO Police Certificate process after the relevant step-down rules apply.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This distinction matters because an applicant may still need to answer questions from an overseas authority carefully, depending on the wording of that authority\u2019s form.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Factors Affect Step-Down?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>ACRO considers several factors when applying the Step-down Model.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u53ef\u7f51\u4e0a\u7533\u8bf7\u7684\u8bc1\u4e66\u5305\u62ec\uff1a<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>\u72af\u7f6a\u884c\u4e3a\u7684\u4e25\u91cd\u7a0b\u5ea6<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The applicant\u2019s age at the time of the offence<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>\u6848\u4ef6\u7ed3\u679c<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>\u6240\u5224\u5904\u7684\u5211\u7f5a<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Whether there has been a clear period without further offending<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The ACRO guidance divides offences into categories A, B and C, with category A being the most serious and category C being the least serious.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Adult and Young Person Categories<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>For step-down purposes, ACRO defines an adult as someone who was <strong>18 or older<\/strong> at the time of conviction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A young person means someone who was <strong>under 18<\/strong> at the time of conviction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This distinction can affect the relevant step-down period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Clear Periods and Re-Offending<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The Step-down Model uses \u201cclear periods\u201d from offending.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If the person re-offends during the clear period, the time clock may reset and a new clear period may begin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This means the timing of later offences can affect whether earlier offence history is disclosed on the certificate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Impending Prosecutions and Current Investigations<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>ACRO states that step-down is not applied to impending prosecutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>An impending prosecution means the person has been charged, but the outcome is not yet known or has not yet been recorded on LEDS.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>ACRO also states that step-down is not applied to matters under investigation.

Other offences may step down after a clear period, depending on the sentence and offence category.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Because these rules can be detailed, applicants should avoid assuming that an old matter will or will not appear. The certificate outcome depends on ACRO\u2019s assessment under the Step-down Model.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">If
