It's something I know bugger all about but I suspect the basic level covers just convictions whereas the extended level or higher level would do further research on stuff that you have been recorded as a suspect of on a crime report.
The cannabis warnings you get told that it isn't a conviction but a crime will be recorded of which you be shown accused. This is because before you get a warning the police have to have enough evidence that they could fine you or take you to court for it.
Makes sense as the policeman did say that it wasn't a conviction as such
It's for a job application I'm making and there's the chance that it will be an extended check due to the nature of the work.
I can't decide whether I should declare it and risk rejection as a result when they may not even see it on the check, or not mention it and end up that it does show on my file?
I'm all for being honest but tbh there's no point putting myself at a disadvantage to other candidates where it was never necessary to :/
