Work reportable offences
Discussion
I was watching one of the cops(UK) show the other day and a male nurse got pulled over and arrested for drink driving, when he was in front of the custody sergent they told him that because he was a nurse it would need to be reported to his boss by the police.
Is there some kind of list of jobs that drink/drug driving is reportable and why not all jobs?

Essentially, yes.When you're arrested a computerised set of questions is filled in which includes employers details. Someone in an office somewhere will then notify the employer if they fall within the notifiable category of the offence you've been arrested for. Never sure exactly which professions are on there but certainly things like NHS and teaching etc are.

It's a conviction that would appear on a CRB check, you have to declare all your unspent convictions. Is there some kind of list of jobs that drink/drug driving is reportable and why not all jobs?
In this country, any offence, including traffic offences committed by a medical practitioner with a licence to practice are automatically referred to the GMC. For SP30's and the like, they are generally just filed. DD might be different, not sure. I imagine similar set up applies to nurses and the NMC.

the NMC say you do not need to inform of fixed penalties but any motoring offence that goes before the court and totting up bans need to be reported. Drink -driving may also fall foul of the rules surroundign registrations and substance misuse http://www.nmc-uk.org/Registration/Staying-on-the-...

Are you even obliged to tell them what you do for a living, if they want to know then let them find out the hard way. If you give your name, DOB and address what more info do you have to tell them and what can they do about it if you say non of your business.
which foir a Health proferssional would be evidence of intent to decieve and create further issues over your fitness to practice when the registration body discovers your charges... the answer for none FPN motoring offences is a self report / self referral to the registration body ...

Saw something similar on TV with a dumb bint (at least I think it was one as they blurred the face) that was an NHS manager crashing her landrover on the motorway, loosing a wheel and then carrying on a few hundred meters. Was quite interesting watching as they sobered up and realised the repercussions of what they had done.

Means nothing for an NHS 'MANAGER' except two scenarios.They also have a professional registration.
They are a layperson "Ambulance Officer" and getting points or a ban means thry can no longer respond... ( so their work Volvo V70 or Octavia Scout with WHiizy technical kit, lights and noise will be swapped for a civic or astra without lights and noise and a basic nokia)
NHS Lay Managers are teflon coated.

Yup, but I think (hope) that that will be changing following the Francis recommendations.They also have a professional registration.

Hmmmm..... being deceitful by excersizing your rights. I think a lot of laws are bluff and bluster designed to confuse.

I have booked thousands of people into custody and not once have i asked anyone for their employers details. Occupation yes, details of where they work and who for no.
Notifiable Occupations Scheme. Force dependant of course but in mine that part would normally be taken care of by the custody sergeant and passed to the relevant safeguarding team.NH1 said:
