The (UK)Disclosure Calculator is a web tool that can be used to find out when a criminal record becomes spent under the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974 (ROA).
The need to interpret complex legislation means that many people with a criminal record do not benefit from their legal rights under the ROA, making it harder for them to reintegrate into society. Professionals and organisations working with people with a criminal record can find it difficult to find out when their clients record becomes spent, particularly for clients with multiple convictions.
The Disclosure Calculator makes it simple for you to calculate when a clients criminal record becomes ‘spent’ and no longer needs to be disclosed under the ROA (e.g. to employers and insurers), removing the discrimination which acts as a barrier to successful reintegration.
The tool will only work if you know the following details about all of the convictions or disposals that you have received:
The date of conviction
The type of offence
The sentence or disposal that you received
Your date of birth
Information is provided about how to find out some of the above information if you don’t know it already.
The tool is only as good as the information that you input - it will only give you an accurate result if you input accurate information
