Lammy Proposes Clearing Childhood Criminal Records
Update: 2025-12-10
Description
Justice Secretary David Lammy is proposing to clear childhood criminal records to prevent minor offenses from impacting individuals later in life. This initiative follows reports of people in their fifties, sixties, and seventies having youthful transgressions disclosed to employers. Lammy advocates for a system similar to the US, where individuals can petition a judge to seal their records after demonstrating successful rehabilitation. The proposal aims to offer second chances, but defining serious offenses poses a challenge.
