The government has confirmed that planned changes to the rules on filtering will come into effect on Saturday 28 November. The changes mean that childhood cautions will no longer be disclosed, and the rule that meant someone with more than one conviction had all their convictions disclosed, regardless of offence or length of time, has been abolished.
