Spent convictions

[Smithy]

Hello, any advice would be much appreciated. I was convicted and given a DR10 in sept 2011 with a £400 fine.
Could anyone advise as to exactly when my conviction is classed as spent; is it at the end of the ban (which has already passed and I am driving again) or is it after 5 years?
Also, do I have to disclose my conviction to prospective employers and insurers?
Thank you
Smithy

Te legislation was changed about convictions in March 2014, BUT this did not affect motoring convictions, so they have to be disclosed for insurance purposes for 5 years from the date of conviction. Your conviction will be disclosable for 5 years from conviction if they ask you about it, some employers don't. If you have to have a DBS (formerly CRB) check done for your job then this conviction will be disclosable for 11 years if it is your only conviction or for life if you have more than one disclosable conviction.
