Hi there,
Before anyone berates me, have had a read of the SC sticky but I can't seem to find a situation like mines.
Basically I have been employed in the UK by a list X company as a permanent employee since 2008. However in 2012 I was convicted of possession of a class A drug where I was given a fine. I was told at the time by 3 different lawyers all paid for by myself(you can see how paranoid I was), that it was best to not tell my employer at the time about my conviction.
However this is something that Has always worried me the longer I stay with this company. My SC is due to be renewed in 2018 and my conviction is now spent under recent rules. However, do you think I should've just been honest with my employer? I get the feeling that when my renewal comes up and I tell them that I had this conviction that they will be annoyed that I wasn't honest at the time about it and that I will get inevitably sacked.
Any advice would be great thanks.
