Warnings

If you admit to something that is not very  serious and the police officer feels that no other formal action is required, you can get an a warning (sometimes known as an information caution).  If you get an informal caution, the police can’t later take action against you for the same crime. The informal caution you receive will not go on your record.

However, the police will send a ‘Notice to Guardian of Informal Police Caution’ to your parents or guardian.
